I have been treating thyroid for many years, but for the last few months, it has not been well controlled. My medicine dose was recently increased as per my doctor advice. However, I am experiencing mild chest tightness and discomfort most of the time, with no other symptoms.

Uncontrolled thyroid (especially hypothyroidism) can cause muscle tightness, chest discomfort, or anxiety like symptoms. If the chest discomfort is mild and not accompanied by pain, breathlessness, or dizziness, it may be thyroid or muscular related. If persistent, get heart and thyroid levels re evaluated. Make sure you are taking thyroid medicine correctly (empty stomach, same time daily).

Hi sir, I have been undergoing treatment for MDR TB and have been regularly taking all prescribed medications as per my doctor instructions. These include Monopas, Ethio 250, Mycotuf C 250 mg, Levofloxacin, Benadon, Sompraz D, and Clotas EH. My recent chest X ray report shows that the left hilar shadow appears prominent. However, my blood test results are mostly normal, except for an elevated TSH level of 7.080, for which I take one tablet of Thyrox 100 daily. Please let me know what the prominent hilar shadow on the chest X ray might indicate and what steps should be taken next.

Greetings Sir/Madam, My T3 and T4 levels appear to be normal, but my TSH level is high. What could this indicate? I have attached my thyroid test report.

A female patient aged 22 years is in the second trimester and her T3 is 1.90 and T4 is 16. I have attached the lab report also. What is the treatment and is Thyronorm 25 mcg okay or should the dose be increased? Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
