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?

Your TSH is normal. Breathing issues with exertion may need ECG, chest Xray, and lung function test. Acid reflux may worsen breathlessness.

Doctor, I had swelling in my thyroid glands and was asked to do a US. The US showed a cystic nodule and I was advised to do FNAC. Please verify my biopsy results, which I have attached, and guide me. What do they indicate?

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.

Sir, after my thyroid test, my report shows T3: 90, T4: 6.1, and TSH: 22.64. Please advise if this is a complicated issue or not?
