Hello, I have been taking Methimez 10 mg twice a day for hyperthyroidism for the past 5 months. I also have a thyroid nodule. Last week, my blood report showed a high increase in TSH level. What is the solution to bring my TSH back to normal?

A high TSH while on Methimez suggests possible overcorrection to hypothyroidism. Dose adjustment is needed. Consult your endocrinologist for repeat T3, T4, and dose revision.

I am 4.5 months pregnant and have a thyroid condition. My current TSH level is 4.13. For the past 2 to 3 days, I have been experiencing mild stomach cramps and stretching sensations in my lower abdomen. Is this normal during pregnancy?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 27 years old and 10 weeks pregnant. My blood test report shows Free T4 serum at 2.31 mg per dL and TSH at 0.021 microIU per mL. Do I need to start any medication now? I have never taken any medicine for thyroid before.

I am overweight and trying to reduce my weight, but I am not seeing quick results. My periods are regular. Is this fine? What else can I do to maintain regular periods?
