I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last four years. I take Eltroxine 50 mcg every morning, but in my blood test report which came yesterday, TSH is 7.4. How can I keep my thyroid normal? I am a working female and got married last year.

TSH above 5 indicates under treatment. You may need dose adjustment. Please take Free T3, Free T4, and Anti TPO to guide management.

My TSH (thyroid) test report shows 19.5. What medication should I take, and what precautions should I follow? I have a 5 month old baby.

I recently had a thyroid function test (T3, T4, and TSH) done, but I am not sure how to interpret the results. My report shows T3: 0.52 ng/mL, T4: 4.70 microgram/dL, and TSH: 2.36 microIU/mL. Could you please tell me if these results indicate a thyroid problem or if they are within the normal range?
