Q: Hypothyroidism

My TSH level test is within normal range, but I feel I have many symptoms of hypothyroidism. I continue to become more fatigued, weak, stressed, severe anxiety, insomnia, hypoglycemic, resting pulse rate of 120-133. I also have mitral valve prolapse. Over the past 3 years, after surgery for a herniated disc, I began to feel tired and the symptoms have escalated to the point that my husband and daughter are having to take care of me. I had to leave my job after being there 14 years and no longer drive or leave the house due to my illness. I am desperate and my family is suffering right along with me. Medical doctors I have been to continue to tell me that my blood levels are within normal range and have suggested a psychiatrist for mental illness. I have taken almost every antidepressant and anxiety medication there is. These medications have not worked or make my condition worse.
