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 been taking thyroid medication since the age of 11 and have never missed a dose. I am now 23, and my menstrual cycles have always been regular. My TSH is currently below 1, and it has been maintained below 5 for several years. Will this affect my ability to get pregnant? Also, does this increase the risk of miscarriage?

Hi sir, I have been undergoing treatment for MDR TB and have been regularly taking all prescribed medications as per my doctor instructions. These include Monopas, Ethio 250, Mycotuf C 250 mg, Levofloxacin, Benadon, Sompraz D, and Clotas EH. My recent chest X ray report shows that the left hilar shadow appears prominent. However, my blood test results are mostly normal, except for an elevated TSH level of 7.080, for which I take one tablet of Thyrox 100 daily. Please let me know what the prominent hilar shadow on the chest X ray might indicate and what steps should be taken next.
