Thyroid levels and surgery

[Guest guest]

I just got back the results of my bloodwork, and my thyroid is still hyper

after 3+ years of trying to regulate it. Here are my levels:

TSH < 0.01 reference range 0.40-5.50

T4 Total 28.6 reference range 4.5-12.0

T3 Uptake4603 reference range 27.8-40.7

T4 Free,Calculated 13.24 reference range 1.53-3.85

I have to have anesthesia so I can get some dental work done, and I also

suffer from gallstones..I've been told I can't have any anesthesia because my

heart and blood pressure could go out of wack and the Dr would have a hard time

controlling it..it could be deadly.

I'm taking PTU 3X a day and now taking a beta blocker..Toprol 1x a day..what

else can I do?? I really have to get this under control. Right now my legs are

very weak and it's hard to go up stairs etc..Any advice? So many of you are

so knowledgable. I'd appreciate any input.

Thank you!

Always,

Elise**
