I'm a 28-year-old woman working a desk job, and I've noticed my TSH level is at 8.67, even though my T3 and T4 are normal. I usually keep a pretty healthy lifestyleI'm vegetarian and consume a lot of milk-based products, plus I swim four days a week. Im 5 feet tall and weigh 50kgs. Recently, though, I've been off track with my diet, eating whatever whenever. I've had high TSH before but managed to lower it through lifestyle changes. Do you think adding a multivitamin could help if I focus on fixing my diet and sticking to regular exercise? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I'm experiencing some irritation in my throat, and I just got my thyroid levels checked. It turns out my TSH is really high, around 1016, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal. I'm not sure what this could mean. Can you tell me what this condition is and what kind of treatment I should consider?
it can be subclinical hypothyroidism

I'm kind of worried about my health. My pulse is usually around 90 to 115, and my blood pressure is about 80 over something like 90 to 125 over 40 most of the time. Sometimes I get chest pain, and when I exercise, I feel really breathless. It's strange because my reports have been normal for the past 6 or 7 months. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 20 months ago, and I've gone from taking 222 carbimazol daily to just 1. I've noticed that my T4 levels slightly increase every couple of months, but they're still in the normal range. So, should I be worried about the chest pain and high pulse rate, or is this okay?
Based on your symptoms and medical history of hyperthyroidism, it is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure closely. The chest pain and elevated pulse rate could be related to your thyroid condition. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. I recommend taking Propranolol 10mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
