Symptoms suggest rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. See rheumatologist and endocrinologist. Treatment can help manage both.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a ANTI THYROID ANTIBODIES Test

I have been taking Thyronorm 12.5 mcg for two months. Due to severe tiredness and sleepy feeling, I repeated TSH and Free T4 tests. TSH is 8.02 (Ref 0.4 to 4.2) and Free T4 is 1.17 (Ref 0.89 to 1.76). Previously, Anti Tg Antibody was high and TPO was normal. I am having tingling in both palms and feet. Fasting blood sugar is 82. I am taking Concor 5 mg for hypertension. Do I require a dose revision or further consultation?

I just received my TSH blood test report, and the result is less than 0.05 mIU/L. Could you please advise whether this is dangerous or if it is normally treatable?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My recent blood report shows my prolactin level is 45, and my doctor said this is causing my irregular periods. Currently, I have been prescribed tablets to regulate my periods for 3 months. Could you please advise what steps I should take to normalize my prolactin levels?
