I am on medication with Thyronorm 88 mg, and my recent blood report shows TSH level 14.02. Should I change my dose, and if yes, should I reduce or increase it?

A TSH of 14.02 is high, indicating underactive thyroid despite current medication. Do not change the dose yourself. You may need an increased dose, but consult your endocrinologist first.

I recently had a thyroid test, and my results are: TSH: 6 microIU/mL T3: 0.87 ng/mL T4: 5.83 microgram/dL Does this indicate hypothyroidism? Can my TSH, T3, and T4 levels return to normal without taking medication? If so, how many months might it take to achieve this naturally, and what steps should I follow?

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?

Hi Doctor, My mother is 50 years old. We recently did a complete blood test for her. Overall, her health is fine, and she is not on any medications. Most of her test results are normal, but her thyroid hormone (TSH) is 6.09, which concerns me. Could you please advise your suggestions? Should we visit a doctor for this?
