In hypothyroidism, a TSH test once a year will check that levels are within the reference range. In hyperthyroidism the usual tests are TSH and FT4; how often these take place will depend on the treatment

I am a thyroid patient and also have PCOD, which causes irregular periods. My recent sonogram shows an endometrial thickness of 7.1 mm. I have gained weight in the last 2 months and often feel dull and drowsy. Additionally, my TB test is positive, but my doctor advised not to take TB medication. What should I do now?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I would like to have my blood report analyzed along with my thyroid test report.
