Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
No need to worry much for your thyroid report but you should definitely concern about RF report. Your RF report is significantly high.
So possibility of rheumatoid arthritis is more.
Your symptoms like shortness of breath, leg pain and headache can be seen in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
So better to get done ACCP antibodies. It is never and more specific diagnostic test for rheumatoid arthritis.
If this is positive then you are mostly having Rheumatoid arthritis and you may need treatment.
I find this answer helpful
