So I was at the norm TSH of around 2. Then they tested my thyroid cause I was having anxiety etc. My TSH was .37 and my T3 was 1.81?
She said it is either due to meds it the weight I lost..which was due rmto hyper state. Confused

Are you on synthroid or a thyroid compound? If so, you may simply be over-medicated. I would assume they adjusted the dosage and scheduled a follow-up in 6 to 12 weeks?

Good, it sounds like your doc is doing the appropriate follow up. Be patient, you probably know it takes time for levels to rise or drop and to stabilize.
