Question 1

I am 35 years old and recently had my first set of tests done (reports attached). Over the past few months, I have been experiencing shortness of breath and a nagging discomfort on the left side of my chest. I also have issues with gas and acidity. Even light running or jogging leaves me feeling exhausted. I am concerned about my heart health. I am also a thyroid patient, and my TSH is 3.16. Should I undergo further tests to assess my heart condition?

Question 2

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.

Question 3

What is included in a full panel testing of thyroid?

I am 15 weeks pregnant with my first child. In my recent test, my TSH level was 48. Could you please guide me on whether it is safe to continue my pregnancy and what steps I should take next?

TSH 48 is very high and can affect pregnancy. Start treatment immediately and consult your gynecologist and endocrinologist.
