Question 1

My mother has been a hypothyroidism patient for the past 5 years. Her latest test report from Thyrocare shows a very low TSH value, while T3 and T4 levels are within the normal range. Before consulting any specialist, I would like to understand the details of her case, confirm the diagnosis, and know if any additional tests or special investigations are required.

Question 2

I was diagnosed with geographic tongue in July 2019. My Vitamin B12 was low, and I took medicines for that, but the geographic tongue did not go away. I also had burning while urinating, which was diagnosed as chronic prostatitis, and I was given multiple courses of antibiotics. Currently, I am facing skin itching that was diagnosed as chronic urticaria. I do not get hives; the skin just turns red and then becomes normal after some time. I was advised to take Levosiz 5 mg, which relieves the itching for 2 to 3 days, but the problem comes back, so I need to take the medicine repeatedly. Recently, I was advised to get my thyroid profile checked. My T3 and T4 are normal, but TSH is 22.46. My HbA1c is 6.2, ESR is 7, TLC is 5.21, and RBC is 5.30. I started thyroxine 50 mg two weeks ago. My age is 36 and my weight is 93 kg. Could you please suggest what should be done next, and which specialist I should consult?

Question 3

Hi Doctor, my wife thyroid test report is as follows. T3 is 61, T4 is 1.6, and TSH is greater than 150. Please advise on the further procedure?

I have been experiencing skin rashes on and off for the past 3 months and used Montair LC or Cetirizine whenever they appeared. When I visited a dermatologist, he prescribed an anti allergic medication for a month and suggested some tests. In those tests, my TSH came out as 7.5 microIU/mL.

TSH 7.5 is mildly high. May indicate subclinical hypothyroidism. Not alarming but needs monitoring. Repeat Thyroid Profile in 6 to 8 weeks. Consult doctor if rashes continue.
