I had my full body check up and all the reports were normal except for the TSH test, which showed a value of 6.000 while the normal range is 0.5 to 4.8, which is slightly higher. After seeing this, I found out that I have a thyroid issue. I am eager to understand more about it. Is it bad for my health? Will it last for a lifetime? And how can I get rid of it?

Mildly high TSH suggests subclinical hypothyroidism. May be temporary. Lifestyle, weight, and stress also affect thyroid. Monitor with repeat test.

Can a full blood count show if a person has hyperthyroidism?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My report suggests thyronormalcy, but I am experiencing some symptoms that concern me. My postprandial blood sugar sometimes drops to 75 mg/dL, I notice dents in my right leg, and my vision becomes blurry at times. Could you please advise if these symptoms are related to thyroid issues and what steps I should take next?

For the last four days, she has been taking Thyroxin 25. After starting the medicine, her whole body seems swollen and she feels sleepy throughout the day. She is 10 weeks pregnant. What should I do? Should I stop the thyroid medicine?
