Showing signs of hypothyroidism but TSH levels are normal

So I’ve been trying to lose weight recently since I had gained a lot over a short period of time with no real explanation. I managed to lose maybe 5 or so pounds and then I gained 7 right back in a week.

I’m showing all the tell tale signs of hypothyroidism except the low heart rate because of my pots. I got a blood draw a few days ago and asked them to test for thyroid issues but I think they only looked at TSH. I got the results today and they said I had high inflammation and normal everything else. They said that the inflammation is probably linked to GI stuff.

I’m so disappointed and angry. I thought I’d finally get answers but it’s still a mystery. I just want to know what’s wrong with me.

Do you guys have any clues as to what might be going on? Or has anyone experienced similar symptoms or issues? I feel like I’m losing my mind here trying to solve an unsolvable puzzle.

Any help or insight is appreciated.
