I'm trying to understand my recent test results and I'm a bit worried. My Anti Thyroid Peroxidase antibody is over 1300, but my Anti Thyroglobulin antibody is within the normal range at 28. Also, my T3 is 1.26, TSH is 5.43, and T4 is 8.01, which are all within normal limits. But my Vitamin D levels are low at 12. What do these findings suggest? Should I consider getting a thyroid scan done?

Tinnitus and Vibration in the Head: Seeking Medical Attention and Treatment Options
Given your prolonged symptoms and recent escalation, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment. Here's a summary of possible causes and next steps:
Possible Causes
- Tinnitus: Buzzing or ringing in the ears can be caused by exposure to loud noise, earwax buildup, ear infections, or certain medications.
- Vibration in the head: This symptom can be related to tinnitus or other conditions, such as:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): A vestibular disorder causing brief, intense episodes of vertigo.
- Meniere's disease: A disorder of the inner ear causing vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and ear fullness.
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: Jaw joint issues can cause vibrations or sensations in the head.
Next Steps
- Consult an ENT specialist: Schedule an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to evaluate your symptoms and determine the underlying cause.
- Comprehensive diagnostic tests: The ENT specialist may order tests, such as:
- Audiometry to assess hearing function
- Tympanometry to evaluate middle ear function
- Electronystagmography (ENG) or videonystagmography (VNG) to assess vestibular function
- Imaging studies (e.g., MRI or CT scans) to rule out other conditions
- Treatment options: Based on the diagnosis, treatment may include:
- Sound therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for tinnitus management
- Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) for BPPV or other vestibular disorders
- Medications or injections for TMJ disorders or other conditions
Please consult an ENT specialist or a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm currently taking Eltroxin 75 mg for my thyroid first thing in the morning before breakfast. I usually like to have a glass of lemon juice with honey as part of my morning routine. Is it okay for me to drink the lemon juice and honey before taking my Eltroxin? If it is, how much time should I wait after having the juice before taking my tablet? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.
In the morning, you can take Lemon Juice with Honey before taking Eltroxin 75 mg. However, it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour after consuming the juice before taking the Eltroxin tablet for optimal absorption and effectiveness of the medication.
