Eltroxin dose is fine if TSH is within target range usually less than 2.5 for most adults. Adjust only after seeing latest thyroid report.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

How do I check for thyroid without getting a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My hypothyroidism has been detected since last 6 years and I have been taking 75 mcg fixed dose of Thyronorm tablet with regular blood tests and check ups. Thankfully I have been able to maintain my TSH level in normal range for many years. But yesterday I got my report and my TSH level is 6.26 uIU per ml. I have been taking regular medicines. Is there anything to worry? What can I do to prevent TSH from increasing?

I am 28 years old. Over the past few months, I have been losing weight steadily, and my skin has become darker. I also have minor sinus issues but no major medical conditions. My parents both have diabetes, so I recently got tested, but my blood sugar levels were normal. I work in IT with a stressful night shift schedule. Please suggest how I can gain weight and maintain healthy skin. I have never had any skin allergies in the past.
