I have a 5.7 thyroid level. The maximum is 5.6. Do I have a thyroid problem? What should I do now and what precautions should be taken?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A TSH of 5.7 (slightly above 5.6) suggests mild (subclinical) hypothyroidism. If you have no symptoms, your doctor may advise observation and lifestyle changes. Eat a balanced diet, manage stress, get good sleep, and avoid skipping meals. If you have hair fall, weight gain, or tiredness, consult your doctor for possible medication. You can book a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) repeat after 6 to 8 weeks to monitor levels.

View allHello, my aunt recovered from viral fever last week. She is not under any medication now. However, for the last 2 to 3 days, she has developed severe headache and nausea. On checking with a local physician, she was advised to do TSH, T3, and T4 tests. Previously, she was under medication for high TSH but stopped the medication a few months ago thinking everything was normal and feeling fine. The fresh test today shows TSH 18.77, T3 117, and T4 9.4. The reports indicate a high TSH level. She is worried and needs help.

My T3 and T4 levels are normal, but my TSH is high. I have attached my report for your reference. I was previously taking Thyronorm 62.5 mcg, but I have stopped it recently. Should I continue taking it? Additionally, I would like to check my estrogen and progesterone levels.
Answered by Apollo Doctors
Hello Doctor, I am a 33 year old female, mother of two, and have been taking Thyronorm 100 mcg for thyroid treatment over the past 6 years. I recently had a thyroid test, and the results show that TSH and T3 are within the normal range, while Free T4 is slightly elevated. I have no other complaints. Please advise if I can continue my current dosage.
