Send us a textHello and welcome to this episode. Today we will be discussing an approach to a low TSH. We will be going over 2 review studies from The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism and then Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine. But first today’s question: A 50-year-old postmenopausal woman with no other notable history presenting with palpitations, frequent bowel movements, and tremors. She has no family history of thyroid dysfunction. She has mild tachycard...
