<human>: I have had fainting like , light headedness , flushing of the head, heart palpitations off and on for the past 3-4 months. a dr ran some tests told me my tsh level was slightly elevated, however my t3 and t4 was normal. does that rule out any thyroid , pituitary problem?
<bot>: Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that a thyroid gland dysfunction can not be excluded, considering your symptoms and performed tests. For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests to examine better your thyroid gland function: - a thyroid gland ultrasound- a thyroid gland centigram- anti-TPO levels. You should discuss with an endocrinologist on the above issues. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
