My grandmother is in pain from this problem. When she went to the doctor, the doctor told her that she would need a thyroid test.

If your grandmother is feeling weak or tired, testing for thyroid is a good step. Hypothyroidism is common in elderly and can cause fatigue, swelling, and mood changes. Treatment is usually simple and effective.

Hi sir, I have been undergoing treatment for MDR TB and have been regularly taking all prescribed medications as per my doctor instructions. These include Monopas, Ethio 250, Mycotuf C 250 mg, Levofloxacin, Benadon, Sompraz D, and Clotas EH. My recent chest X ray report shows that the left hilar shadow appears prominent. However, my blood test results are mostly normal, except for an elevated TSH level of 7.080, for which I take one tablet of Thyrox 100 daily. Please let me know what the prominent hilar shadow on the chest X ray might indicate and what steps should be taken next.

My name is Padmaja, and my thyroid level is 9.21 in today test report. I am taking Thyronorm 50. Should I increase the dosage?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My TSH level in the recent report is 4.86. I would like to know if this means I have hypothyroidism. Also, should I go for a retest to confirm the result?
