I take 50 mcg/day thyroxine sodium tablets. My recent test report shows T3 1.06 ng/ml (normal range 0.6 to 1.81), T4 9.90 microgram/dL (normal range 3.2 to 12.6), and TSH 8.01 microIU/mL (normal range 0.35 to 5.5). The test was done according to CLIA. Should there be any change in the dose of thyroxine?

I am 37 years old, and my period suddenly stopped this month. I checked a pregnancy test, and it is negative. Is this serious?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hello Sir/Mam, I need your suggestions. Today I checked my full body blood report, including lipid profile, liver, B12, D3, thyroid, CBC, and sugar. I have been suffering from thyroid issues for a long time, and my report shows the results. Apart from this, I see a few other counts, like lymphocytes, are not normal. Please suggest. I have been having the following symptoms for a long time: extreme fatigue and dizziness all day, especially in the morning?
