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 doctor. I have hypothyroidism for the last 4 years. Currently, I am on Thyronorm 50. My thyroid profile is normal, and TSH is 2.1. Since June, I have been feeling occasional ectopic beats. I get a funny sensation in my chest followed by a hard beat, which then goes away. Is this due to my thyroid condition? This causes anxiety, which seems to trigger even more ectopic beats. Please help.

My grandmother is in pain from this problem. When she went to the doctor, the doctor told her that she would need a thyroid test.

Hello, 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.
