I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last three years and infertility. I was taking levothyroxine 50 mcg daily, but recently I have been feeling low energy, gaining weight, experiencing hair thinning and hair fall, and my periods have become shorter with less bleeding than before. My gynecologist advised reducing the dose to 50 mcg, but my new report also shows a low TSH level. Please see my report. What should I do further? Is this something very problematic? Please advise.

Your symptoms could be from thyroid dose imbalance. TSH level helps determine whether dose needs change. Please do not stop or reduce without advice.

Question

My report shows the following thyroid levels, T3 is 1.38, T4 is 69.1, and TSH is 12.0. This is my first time checking these values. Kindly advise if medication should be started.

I wanted to ask if it is possible to have hypothyroidism even when thyroid levels appear normal. My recent test results show T3 at 130, T4 at 9.71, and TSH at 1.23, all within the normal range. However, I am experiencing several symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, slowed thinking, extreme laziness, and memory issues. Could these symptoms still be related to a thyroid issue despite the normal lab values?

Question

My TSH level in the recent report is 4.86. I would like to know if this means I have hypothyroidism. Also, should I go for a retest to confirm the result?
