I'm really worried about my thyroid test results. My TSH is at 2.5 and T3 is at 1.5, but my T4 level is pretty high at 17.2. Does this mean there might be a problem with conceiving?

I've been wondering if there's any possible way to decrease my height. I'm currently 6.2 ft and I'm really interested in finding ways to reduce my height. Looking forward to your advice.

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.
