normal weight range for children

Normal blood sugar for a child is typically in the range of 70-100, with fasting numbers in the 70s - 80s (lower than for adults). After eating it may increase, but should should not go higher than about 120. Please have this looked at by a dr if you are concerned. A 3 year old shouldn't be tired!

This app is always telling me that my weight is "below normal range" and i hate it!!!! It makes me feel bad. I eat healthy and i feel like I finally got my appetite back and started gaining some weight.

Normal readings are different for everyone. I fell into the normal range and NORMAL wasnt working for me. My body needs to be slightly hyper, SLIGHTLY to make me feel good. I have a Dr that listens to my symptoms and not my numbers!! I feel good at a 1!

They should give you the range for FT4 when you call for test results. You need to know the position in the range, not just the result. If possible, always get a copy of the lab report and write on there how you were feeling and your med dosage at the time. These become very valuable for future reference. Also, I would lean on them hard to do the FT3 test. Explain that you are aware of the possibility of inadequate conversion of T4 to T3 and want to make sure of your FT3 level.

Hello.I'm in the normal;healthy range?I'm 1_70 meters tall and my age is 16 years old.My weight is 64 kg.Should i start a diet?

Sorry for this recent update Dr. Lupo but I forgot to mention my sleep patterns are way off , have periods of increased pulse rate, periods of nausea with episodes, and also break out with periodic hives for no good reason. (All this with normal labs.) (Something is going on but can't find out what.) PLEASE HELP I"M DESPERATE FOR ANSWERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR!!

At her last growth check her doctor noticed that her weight is below the normal value and adviced us to do blood check for thyroid. Well her Tsh is elevated ie. 5.18 but FT4 is within normal range. I am worried about it.

what are the normal thyroid hormone levels tsh,ft3,ft4 for children of the age of 2 years?if tsh and ft4 are in the normal levels and ft3 a little bit under the normal,what does this mean?

I believe that is a test for free T3 (FT3), not total T3. Since lab results will vary from lab-to-lab, they sometimes have their own slight variation in reference ranges. That said, the range for FT3 that I see on my lab report shows 2.3 - 4.2 Pg/ml. Your result is in the lower end of that range. If you have no hypo symptoms, that result is just fine.

I'm a recovering anorexic. I was diagnosed in late January and was in hospital for a month. Everything is going great, I put weight on every time I go in for a check up and my pulse deficit is usually under 30. I'm now in the normal weight range, and have been for a bit over a week, but I haven't got my period back. Will it come back? And if it doesn't, will I be able to have children when I'm older? I worry that I won't be able to...

I believe the reason for this to be that the data bases for FT3 and FT4 testing have never been purged of suspect hypo patient data, as was done for TSH, when the ref. range for TSH was revised over 8 years ago. Accordingly, being in the lower end of these ranges just doesn't work for us. You can read more on this on this link. http://www.hormonerestoration.com/Thyroid.html Usually someone that is hypo will have more symptoms than just low metabolism. Do you have other symptoms?

The thyroid levels appear normal but the TPO suggests an autoimmune thyroid problem. At this point no treatment is indicated based on what you posted. There is an increased risk for thyroid dysfunction (more likely hypo (hashi) but also hyper (graves)) and also an increased risk for goiter potentially. Would monitor only at perhaps 6 month intervals.

50) I realize the lab says it is normal but I have read online that that is not an optimal range. My dr requested the free t4 but our medical plan only pays for the test if she marks it as a special case...which she did not. My Dr is a big believer in not looking past the TSH if it comes back normal. Is it normal to jump that much in 9 months? Apparently it can jump around on the same day but would it jump to 4 if all was normal?

He also said if I can keep is body mass index in place until he is 18 he will then be in the normal range. He ran a TSH and T4 test. His TSH was 2.966 at that time and I don't know what the T4 was. This year we brought him back again as his problems continued. The doc ran the same tests again, this time his TSH was 3.77. I have read that the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists now say anything over a 3 is in danger of hypothyroid. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Hello, I am so sorry for your family's loss. It sounds like your nephew is experiencing anxiety.. I myself am 23 years old and suffer from anxiety as well and at times when sitting especially when eating I find myself rocking. This is not only a response to anxiety but it's also a way of self comfort. I would recommend that your nephew speaks with a therapist as soon as possible because it's very easy for this anxiety to spiral out of control.

Im tired all the time,i take celexa for depression,and have been on l-thyroxine for almost 3 years,my doc says my levels are in the low normal range and that she has tested everything for my thyroid,I cant lose weight and have only felt normal one month this summer,Help me please!I also take claritin for allergies.my doc things that will help me from not bein so tired,my periods are irregular and i have not been able to concieve.I have 4 children and never had a problem b4.

My question is now what? The doctor says my thyroid test was within normal range. But I know this has to be my thyroid. What test can i have him run on me that might tell us the bigger picture of what's going on with me. Thanks Tina H.

80), and T3Total 94 (normal range 87-167) I have not worked for over a year now, weight gain in the passed 2 years 25 pounds (never ever had weight problems), exhausted (want to sleep all the time) do not sleep well at all. My MD says these results are "normal" no need to adjust meds to me I see the tests in the low range of normal... Should my meds be adjusted?
