Question 1

Hi. I have taken medications one by one. First, I had severe skin problems with pimples. I took three months of treatment, and now the pimples are cleared using medicines and creams. Second, I gained weight suddenly, and my periods became irregular. My blood test showed increased thyroid levels, so I took medicines for that. Next, I am not sure what effects these medicines may have had on me. Now I am thinking about how my skin will look as I get older after stopping these medicines. I need a suggestion to maintain my health in a good way without using any medication?

Question 2

I took a thyroid test due to hair loss. My blood report shows normal T3 (73 ng) and T4 (9 microgram) levels, but TSH is slightly elevated at 7.46 microIU. Is this normal? Could this be the cause of my hair loss? Do I need any medication to control the TSH level? Please suggest.

Question 3

I am 29 years old and 15 weeks pregnant now. I am using 137.5 mg Eltroxin tablet from one month. Today I got results of TSH 0.3, Total T4 19.9 and Total T3 1.96. Why does my total T4 level show high? Is there any problem for my pregnancy and my baby?

Your symptoms could be from thyroid dose imbalance. TSH level helps determine whether dose needs change. Please do not stop or reduce without advice.
