If a thyroid test range is from 0-32 and mine is 452, what's wrong with me?

You probably have hyperthyroidism, also known as Grave's Disease. Before confirming this diagnosis, a doctor may want to retest that thyroid bloodwork to check it's accuracy, especially if you are asymptomatic.

If the test was for thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH, then a very high number like that means that you are hypothyroid, or your thyroid is under-performing. Hypothyroid is easily treated with medication, such as Synthroid, that you take everyday.

The standard thyroid test is uTSH aka ultra sensitive thyroid stimulating hormone. A high test result on a uTSH gives a plausible diagnosis of hypothyroidism. If your doctor has not contacted you about the results, you should contact him/her as you might need medication for your condition.

This sounds like Grave's Disease. Always check with your primary physician for a second opinion before you become convinced you suffer from this. You may need to take some tests and they will check by stimulating your thyroid and checking the reaction of it to certain stimuli. More than likely medicine will help you keep it under control.
