I am 29 years old and 15 weeks pregnant now. I am using 137.5 mg Eltroxin tablet from one month. Today I got results of TSH 0.3, Total T4 19.9 and Total T3 1.96. Why does my total T4 level show high? Is there any problem for my pregnancy and my baby?

In pregnancy, thyroid hormone levels, especially total T4, can be higher than usual due to hormonal changes. A slightly high T4 alone is not usually harmful, especially if TSH is within target. Your TSH is on the lower side, which may need monitoring. Continue medication as advised and follow up regularly with your doctor.

Sir, I did an echocardiography test four years ago. Sometimes I experience sudden fear, and if I run fast, my heartbeat becomes fast. I will attach the echo report. Please tell me about my report.

I had a blood test yesterday, and everything was normal except for my free T3 level. My thyroid test results are: TSH: 2.33 microIU/mL, Free T4: 1.33 ng/mL, and Free T3: 8.4 pg/mL. Is this level abnormal? Does it mean I have hyperthyroidism? I read on the internet that it is not curable and requires lifelong medication. Is my result serious? I also experience hand pain and sensitivity to cold climates, but I feel fine in sunny weather. I am worried about my T3 levels.

I am four weeks pregnant. As per my blood test report, my thyroid level is 10.58. I have also undergone a gall bladder operation four years ago. Could you guide me on whether I can have a healthy baby with this high thyroid level at the initial stage? Also, please advise whether my thyroid level could have any impact on my child as he grows up.
