I have booked an appointment on Saturday. I have TSH of 12 and T3 and T4 are normal but my report is two months old. Should I get my thyroid levels checked before consulting the doctor?

Yes, it is advisable to repeat thyroid tests like TSH, T3, T4 before the appointment since hormone levels may have changed in 2 months. This helps your doctor assess your current condition more accurately.

Hello Doctor, I am a thyroid patient (hypothyroidism) and take my medication regularly. However, I have been experiencing severe hyperpigmentation, and it seems to be worsening day by day. Could you please advise on the possible causes and what can be done to manage it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Doctor, I am a 33 year old female, mother of two, and have been taking Thyronorm 100 mcg for thyroid treatment over the past 6 years. I recently had a thyroid test, and the results show that TSH and T3 are within the normal range, while Free T4 is slightly elevated. I have no other complaints. Please advise if I can continue my current dosage.

Kindly suggest the medicine level. My current dose of Eltroxin is 75 microgram. How are my test report results? Any advice or new medicine recommended?
