Hi everyone,

 Had a recent annual  blood test due to meds for blood pressure I'm on . But Dr wants to see me next week as there was a problem with Thyroid result. Apparently receptionist said it's a routine follow up to discuss this? Wondering has treatment caused a problem? 

Cheers Mark 

  • Hi Mark. Not me but there are others in the community who have developed hypothyroidism. It is a risk at around 40/50%

    It can be a very late effect, even years after treatment which is why we should have annual TSH bloods.
