Hi Dr, recently I have seen high TPO antibody in my report but my TSH is normal. Please note that I have been taking Thyronorm 112.5 for the last 8 to 9 years. Is there anything to worry about. Please review my report and advise? Thank you.

High TPO suggests an autoimmune thyroid condition like Hashimoto, even if TSH is normal. Since you are already on Thyronorm, no urgent action is needed if you are feeling fine. Keep monitoring TSH every 3 to 6 months. Share with your doctor for dose review if symptoms change.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

Question

Dear Sir, My mother is an elderly patient with a history of dyspepsia, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. Her gallbladder was removed 8 years ago. She does not have diabetes, weighs around 95 kg, and is 68 years old. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing pain in the groin area, which feels more like muscle or blood vessel pain rather than joint pain. I am wondering if this could be related to her elevated TSH level, which is reported as 7.8 in her latest lab report. She is currently taking Thyrox 100, Tazloc H 80, Metolar XR 50, Rose Day 10, and calcium supplements. I have attached her latest lab report and the most recent prescription for your reference. Please advise

Question

Last 3 months back I checked with doctor with thyroid reports. Doctor advised me to take 25 mg for 2 days a week and 50 mg for 5 days. I took for one month and stopped. Then I started taking 25 mg for the past 2 months. I have been taking 25 mg for past 7 to 8 years so I continued the same. Now today my TSH is 5.05 ml. Should I continue 25 mg or 50 mg. Please suggest. I am attaching my report. That time free T3 T4 T5 report I showed to doctor. Now my weight is increasing even on normal diet and I have hair fall and dandruff issues. Please suggest what to do? Remaining all is very good. No health issues and periods are normal.

Do regular blood tests show thyroid problems?
