Low TSH in pregnancy
I’m currently 33weeks pregnant, I had a blood test Tuesday after high blood pressure and a high heart rate. My results have been uploaded online and I can see my TSH level is really low 0.13. Has anyone had similar? I’m worried after looking on Google. I had a midwife appointment which ended in another hospital trip with high blood pressure and there wasn’t a dr available to review my bloods. I’ve been told to ask my consultant to look into it next week, but I’m worrying in the meantime.

@Tami from research low has implications with the placenta and pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure. GP won’t look at the results unfortunately as they were taken by the hospital, so they would refer me back there. Spent the day in hospital today and 2 of the doctors were off sick, so I was just sent home in the end with midwife appointments daily to keep an eye on blood pressure 🤷🏻♀️ so frustrating trying to get any answers
oh dear, so it's similar complications either way. Sorry to hear! That's frustrating that it's just a waiting game when clearly you are worried. That's just not what anyone and especially highly pregnant woman needs and should experience 😓

I am not an expert, and would definitely always recommend a professional's advice, but I had too high levels and was put on medication for conception and during pregnancy and was under the impression that too low is less of an issue than too high. But as mentioned, best to get it checked out. Maybe consulting your GP beforehand if possible and you find yourself worrying a lot until the appointment?
