Thyroid Problems leading to weight loss

My daughter and I both have Hashis. We had regular blood work done last week. We got our results but our Dr. is stumped on hers and wants her to retake it.

The problem is that her TSH shows her to be Hypo (which she was diagnosed with a couple years ago) but her Free T3 shows Hyper.
Both came back high. Total T4 was normal range

I am worried, anxious (I have anxiety and my mind is racing) has anyone ever dealt with this and might know what it could be?

I told the doctor that around that time, maybe a week or so before we took our blood work, my daughter had just had her very first period. Could that have alter it?

Please Help. Feeling confused.

I did find some information that explains the thyroid blood tests and may help -- Medical News Today - What do TSH levels mean?

Did your doctor think your daughter having her period may have affected the test results?

@jessear - does your daughter take any thyroid medication?
