I'm a 51-year-old with a weight of 62 kg, and I've been on 88 mcg of medication a day for hypothyroidism for the past 6 months. I just got my thyroid profile results, and they show my T3 is 0.98, T4 is 7.93, and TSH is 12.58. What should I do now?

-It seems your TSH level is still higher than the normal range, indicating that your thyroid may not be fully optimized with the current dosage of 88 mcg. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication or exploring other treatment

Question

I'm a bit worried about my grandma who's 84. She's been taking Cordarone 200mg since June for her heart issues. But recently, during a health checkup, they found her thyroid levels to be really high, like 30.91H. They've put her on medication for that too. Is it safe for her to keep taking Cordarone with this thyroid issue?
