1. Get your thyroid levels checked. Cold weather can increase your body's need for thyroid hormone, make you feel more hypothyroid, and may cause your TSH to rise, and Free T4 and Free T3 levels to drop. If you notice hypothyroid symptoms worsening as the weather gets colder, it's worth having your blood levels evaluated.
If youâre making too much thyroid hormone, your TSH will go down.â. Whatâs normal can vary, depending on a number of factors, including the laboratory where your blood test is done, she adds. A normal range for TSH in most laboratories is 0.4 milliunits per liter (mU/L) to 4.0 mU/L. If your TSH is higher than 4.0 mU/L on repeat tests, you probably have hypothyroidism. Your doctor may also order a T4 test. Most of the T4 in your blood attaches to a protein, and when it does, it canât get into your cells. Only T4 that is unattached or âfreeâ can get into your cells to go to work. A blood test can measure how much free T4 is available. Hypothyroidism is treated with daily medication.
