Question 1

Doctor, I had swelling in my thyroid glands and was asked to do a US. The US showed a cystic nodule and I was advised to do FNAC. Please verify my biopsy results, which I have attached, and guide me. What do they indicate?

Question 2

My mother in law was prescribed Thyronorm 50 mcg for hypothyroidism. Should she continue with the same medication? The latest thyroid panel report is as follows: Tri Iodothyronine Total or TT3 0.76 ng per mL, reference range 0.87 to 1.78, Thyroxine Total or TT4 10.960 ug per dL, reference range 6.09 to 12.23; Thyroid Stimulating Hormone 4.676 uIU per mL, reference range 0.34 to 5.60.

Question 3

She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 years ago. She was prescribed to take Thyronorm 50 and was advised not to stop it. However, now her T3 and T4 levels are within the reference range. Today she had palpitations with quite a lot of sweat. She says she feels better if she does not take the prescribed tablet but she is afraid too. Please let me know what needs to be done. Attached are the last blood test reports.

Hello sir, I have been taking Thyrox 50 for the past three months. I have sent my latest report. Please review it and advise whether I should continue the medication or if it can be stopped.

Continue Thyrox only if TSH levels are still elevated. Stopping it suddenly may worsen thyroid function. Rechecking thyroid levels helps decide dose adjustments.
