I was diagnosed with thyroid issues about a year ago. For the past two months, I have noticed swelling in my hands and feet. I also feel lethargic, always tired, and have difficulty concentrating. Could these symptoms be related to my thyroid, or might there be another cause? Please guide me

Swelling in hands/feet, tiredness, and poor concentration can be due to uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Thyroid imbalance can cause water retention and lethargy. It is important to do a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) to check current levels. If thyroid levels are normal, other causes like low protein or kidney issues may need to be ruled out. Consult your doctor with the reports for medication adjustment.

View allI took a thyroid test for the first time. My results are: T3: 120 T4: 9.2 TSH: 4.16 The report comments mention suggesting thyronormalcy. Are these values within the normal range? If not, what treatment or steps should I consider? I have attached my report for reference.

My TSH is 16.1, but my T3 (1.31) and T4 (8.02) are within the normal range. Surprisingly, I am underweight at 56.5 kg with a height of 172 cm. The other symptoms of hypothyroidism also do not match the high TSH results, whereas symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as tachycardia, anxiety, and sleeplessness are seen. I am confused. What should be inferred here, please?

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.
