Hi Judy,
It is very important to have those blood tests done. It sounds like you may have hypothyroidism. Only your physician can make that diagnosis. It is very dangerous to try to treat yourself with over-the-counter supplements when what you need is a prescribed medication. Here is the link to a recent article on hypothyroidism: https://www.empowher.com/hypothyroidism/content/top-facts-about-hypothyroidism
Please keep us posted on the results of your tests. Doctors are as concerned about low levels as well as high levels. Any abnormalities have an impact on a person's health.
Thank you for finding Empowher,
