I am 27 years old and 10 weeks pregnant. My blood test report shows Free T4 serum at 2.31 mg per dL and TSH at 0.021 microIU per mL. Do I need to start any medication now? I have never taken any medicine for thyroid before.

Yes, this suggests hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. You must consult an endocrinologist. Treatment may be needed to protect the baby.

I am feeling very sleepy, weak, and experiencing excessive hair fall. I thought these might be symptoms of a thyroid problem, but my test report shows a level of 3.01. The lab mentioned a thyroid disorder. Do I have a thyroid problem?

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?

I have been experiencing throat problems for the last three months. I have taken medications, but I am still facing issues while eating. I would like to get some tests done to understand the cause. Could you please suggest which tests I should undergo for throat problems?
