Hello, my aunt recovered from viral fever last week. She is not under any medication now. However, for the last 2 to 3 days, she has developed severe headache and nausea. On checking with a local physician, she was advised to do TSH, T3, and T4 tests. Previously, she was under medication for high TSH but stopped the medication a few months ago thinking everything was normal and feeling fine. The fresh test today shows TSH 18.77, T3 117, and T4 9.4. The reports indicate a high TSH level. She is worried and needs help.

High TSH indicates significant hypothyroidism. Restart thyroxine under guidance. Monitor Free T3, Free T4, and TSH. Symptoms will improve with correction.

I have very low thyroid levels as per my recent report, but I am currently not taking any medication for it. I also have diabetes and high blood pressure. Could you please suggest appropriate treatment or medicines for my thyroid condition?

Hi doctor, I have been diagnosed with a thyroid problem for the past two years. At present, I am taking 100 mg Thyronorm. Recently my blood report shows TSH 0.32, T3 0.92, and T4 11.50. What does this mean?

Respected Sir, I am suffering from a thyroid condition. Last month in April, my test results were: T3: 1.10 T4: 7.10 TSH: 40.29 My doctor suggested taking Thyrox 100 mg for one month. After completing the medication, I had my thyroid tested again, and the results were: T3: 1.11 T4: 14.54 TSH: 0.07 Kindly advise me on the next steps, as my TSH level has fallen significantly. Thank you.
