Hi Doctor, my mother (71 years old) has been experiencing a burning sensation throughout her body. Many medicines have been tried but they have not relieved her symptoms. Could this be related to thyroid problems? Can you please explain the symptoms of thyroid disorders?

A burning sensation throughout the body can be caused by nerve issues, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances like thyroid problems. In elderly women, thyroid issues can also cause fatigue, mood changes, and temperature sensitivity. To confirm, do a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) and check Vitamin B12 levels too, as both can trigger similar symptoms.

I am under medication with 150 mg thyroxine for the past 8 months. Recently I took a blood report 15 days back which shows TSH 0.41, T3 3.9, and T4 1.05. Can you please tell me if these values are normal or not?

I am 32 and got my thyroid test report which comes out as Free T4 1.28 and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone ultrasensitive 1.136. Are my thyroid levels normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have recently undergone a thyroid test. My TSH and T3 are within the normal range, and T4 is also normal but on the higher side. Is this a cause for concern? I am attaching the lab report for your reference.
