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 allI am a female, 5 ft tall and 52 kg. I am suffering from knee pain, waist pain, and pain in several joints. I also have difficulty standing for long periods and cannot do heavy work with my hands. I am currently taking Eltroxin 50 mg for thyroid, and my latest thyroid level is 5.2. How can I get relief and cure these problems?

My blood test report has shown some abnormal figures, but I neither consume alcohol nor smoke. What could be the possible cause of this? I have read that heavy workouts at the gym may also cause changes in liver enzymes. My LDH is 375 IU/L, and my TSH is 6.4 mIU/ml. Could you please clarify what this indicates? I am planning to repeat the test in a different lab before consulting a doctor. At present, I do not have any issues with my bowel movements, urine, or food intake. During this period, I was also taking Acutret 10 mg for 10 days, and the test was conducted while I was on this medication. Could this tablet have caused any side effects reflected in my report?
