My doctor ordered these because of constipation issues. He didn't want to order any other thyroid tests. I also have other issues, like thyroid nodules and pain. Here are the results. Do these look okay (even though they are in range)? Thank you.

TSH 1.63 (0.40 - 4.20)
Free T4 0.8 (0.6 - 2.7)

Hi,
Are you taking any thyroid meds? if yes, what dose and which medication? for how long?

Hi,
Your TSH looks perfect, but your TF4 a bit low in its range, but again every one is different, with these results I'll feel good.
Hashimoto in its early stages can present while numbers do not indicate it, you might ask your doctor to run the antibodies tests to see if you have hashimoto, an autoimmunity condition, those are TPOab and TGab, if either is positive then maybe you have hashi.
Those antibodies can be present with other autoimmune conditions such as Graves and others.
