Low levels of T3 and T4 indicate hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid). Symptoms include low metabolic rate, fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and slowed heart rate.

If TSH is high, the problem is likely primary (thyroid gland failure, e.g. Hashimoto’s); if TSH is low, the problem is likely secondary (pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction).
