I am 66 years old. My thyroid test was done on an empty stomach after taking my thyroid medicine. The results show TSH is 3.65, T3 is 0.65 ng/mL (slightly low) and T4 is 5.96 microgram/dL (slightly low). I am taking 25 mcg of thyroxine daily. Are these results normal, or could they be inaccurate because I took the medicine before the test?

TSH is within range, but low T3/T4 suggest under treatment. Test should be done before taking medicine. Please repeat test before dose and consult your doctor.

View allI was diagnosed with geographic tongue in July 2019. My Vitamin B12 was low, and I took medicines for that, but the geographic tongue did not go away. I also had burning while urinating, which was diagnosed as chronic prostatitis, and I was given multiple courses of antibiotics. Currently, I am facing skin itching that was diagnosed as chronic urticaria. I do not get hives; the skin just turns red and then becomes normal after some time. I was advised to take Levosiz 5 mg, which relieves the itching for 2 to 3 days, but the problem comes back, so I need to take the medicine repeatedly. Recently, I was advised to get my thyroid profile checked. My T3 and T4 are normal, but TSH is 22.46. My HbA1c is 6.2, ESR is 7, TLC is 5.21, and RBC is 5.30. I started thyroxine 50 mg two weeks ago. My age is 36 and my weight is 93 kg. Could you please suggest what should be done next, and which specialist I should consult?
