Was hypo, now hyper???

I'll try to keep this short. about a month ago I started feeling really hungry all the time, thought it was gastritis….also diarrhea. A week or two later, I start having pain under my right ribs and a little in my left. Then I noticed I had lost a few lbs. I saw my Dr, she thought it was gallbladder. i got an ultrasound and pancreas, gallbladder, liver kidney all looked fine. A week later I was down a few more lbs. Went back to the Dr, who said he really thinks its stress/anxiety (which I was having VERY BAD) and orders a CT with contrast (which just got approved thru insurance today) and bloodwork. I still haven't gotten to speak to my Dr, despite leaving 5 voicemails over the last week). I was able to access my bloodwork on their patient portal and this is what I saw: Thyroxine (T4) 14.2 ug/dL (ref range of 4.7-13.3) Total Triiodothyronine 110 ng/dL (ref range of 70-190 ) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone 3rd Gen 0.11 uIU/mL (ref range 0.36-3.74). I also had elevated WBC and neutrophils and low lymphocytes, but don't know if that's relevant or stress related or something else entirely.

I don't understand these results. I just had bloodwork done by my endo in May and all was fine. I stayed on the same dose of synthroid and cytomel that I've been on for quite a while. Does this mean I'm now hyper? I was diagnosed with hashimotos a long time ago and told my thyroid was basically fried. Could this all be stress related? Why does my T3 appear normal why everything else is not?

And one more thing….I'm afraid of doing the CT scan, as the dye is iodine based and my thyroid is all out whack. Does anyone know if that could be a problem? I'm waiting for a call from my GP and my endo but with my luck I will never hear from either one. I'm so stressed!!!

Sound simple enough. I have no idea how that could have happened!!! I've only ever been hypo.

A few years back my thyroid was all out of whack. TSH was high and they thought I wasn't converting t4 to t3 (I think) well so they added in cytomel. I've been fine for all that time and BAM... Now I'm not. I did go through a period of very high stress and have heard that can mess things up but I don't know....

That can happen - sudden changes in thyroid function. I just had to have my dose of levothyroxine increased after being stable on the same dose for about seven years.
