Hi. I have read through your query. You haven't written the units of your tests reports and have not mentioned which hormone level are these as well (T3,T4,TSH). Tiredness and low energy and loss of hair are associated with HYPOTHYROIDISM not Hyperthyroidism. Though these symptoms and this disease is not so serious but in the long run it can cause hypertension and heart diseases at the least. So, when you go to your Endocrinologist do take all these reports with you and he might advise you another test called RADIO-NUCLIDE THYROID SCAN to check whether the nodule is cold or warm.
