Hi, I am a 21 year old female and have been suffering from PCOD. I recently checked my thyroid function, and my blood report shows: T3: 79 ng/dl (normal 60 to 200) T4: 1.5 microgram/dl (normal 4.5 to 12) TSH: more than 150 microIU/ml (normal 0.3 to 5.5) Dear Doctor, please explain what my problem is, how it can be managed, and which medications I should take.

TSH more than 150 confirms severe hypothyroidism, which worsens PCOD and causes infertility. You need urgent treatment with levothyroxine. Regular follow up every 6 weeks is essential.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Thyroxine (T4, Total), Serum Test

I am 66 years old. My thyroid test was done on an empty stomach after taking my thyroid medicine. The results show TSH is 3.65, T3 is 0.65 ng/mL (slightly low) and T4 is 5.96 microgram/dL (slightly low). I am taking 25 mcg of thyroxine daily. Are these results normal, or could they be inaccurate because I took the medicine before the test?

I am on medication with Thyronorm 88 mg, and my recent blood report shows TSH level 14.02. Should I change my dose, and if yes, should I reduce or increase it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been taking Thyronorm 12.5 mcg for two months. Due to severe tiredness and sleepy feeling, I repeated TSH and Free T4 tests. TSH is 8.02 (Ref 0.4 to 4.2) and Free T4 is 1.17 (Ref 0.89 to 1.76). Previously, Anti Tg Antibody was high and TPO was normal. I am having tingling in both palms and feet. Fasting blood sugar is 82. I am taking Concor 5 mg for hypertension. Do I require a dose revision or further consultation?
