Question 1

Hey there, I have been experiencing chest pain for the last 15 to 20 days, along with some swelling around the rib cage bone. After researching, I found that my symptoms closely match Tietze syndrome or costochondritis. The pain is especially severe whenever I wake up from any resting position. I have attached an image from Google showing the exact area of swelling. My recent test report shows a TSH level of 7.2, while T3 and T4 are within normal limits. Please advise what home remedies I can try and whether I should consult a general physician or a cardiovascular specialist.

Question 2

I am a thyroid patient and also have PCOD, which causes irregular periods. My recent sonogram shows an endometrial thickness of 7.1 mm. I have gained weight in the last 2 months and often feel dull and drowsy. Additionally, my TB test is positive, but my doctor advised not to take TB medication. What should I do now?

Question 3

I am 23 years old, and my recent thyroid test results are: TSH: 4.826, T3: 3.26, T4: 1.02. Am I considered to have thyroid disorder? Should I change my diet? I am unable to eat rice and have to eat smaller meals.

I recently underwent a blood check up recommended by a dermatologist for skin issues. My blood report states that my TSH is 11. What may be the cause?

TSH of 11 suggests hypothyroidism, which can cause dry skin, fatigue, and hair loss. Thyroid medication may be needed. Please do the required FT4 and anti TPO test to confirm.
