Hi doctor, my mother was previously diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Recently, we received her blood reports. Kindly review them and suggest further diagnosis and appropriate medications to take.

Since your mother has a history of hyperthyroidism, regular thyroid monitoring is important. Please check TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 values in her report. If any values are abnormal, consult an endocrinologist for medicine adjustment. Also monitor her heart rate, sleep pattern, and weight changes.

Question

My mother is 60 years old and has been taking Eltroxin 75 mcg for the past two months, as her TSH was 5.00 at that time. Prior to that, she had been taking Eltroxin 50 mcg for the last ten years. She recently had a thyroid test and the results are: T3: 0.90 ng/mL T4: 9.30 microgram/dL TSH: 16.23 mIU/L I do not understand why her TSH has increased so significantly despite taking her medication regularly. Please advise what steps we should take now.

Question

Greetings Sir/Madam, My T3 and T4 levels appear to be normal, but my TSH level is high. What could this indicate? I have attached my thyroid test report.

Question

Hi Sir, We recently did a thyroid test for my wife, who gave birth 5 months ago. The results are: T3: 2.96, T4: 0.54, TSH: 62. Is this normal after delivery, or should we start treatment? If treatment is started, will her thyroid levels come down to normal?
