My recent blood report shows that my TSH level is 12.04. I am a female, currently weighing 83 kg with a height of 6 feet 7 inches. My doctor has prescribed me 50 mcg of Thyronorm. However, a family member who is also a physician suggested that because my TSH level is quite high, I could take 125 mcg instead. I am confused about the correct dosage and would appreciate your guidance based on the report. Thank you.

TSH of 12 suggests underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). 50 mcg Thyronorm is a standard starting dose. Dose adjustments should be done only after repeat TSH test after 6 weeks of starting. Avoid adjusting based on non-medical opinion.

View allI recently had the following test results Anti TPO: 110 TSH: 6.80 Total T3: 114 Total T4: 8.4 HbA1c: 6.2 Total cholesterol: 229 Average heart rate: 70 to 86 (from pedometer band) Lipoprotein: 9.86 High sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP): 14.86 Previously, my CRP test before vaccination was non reactive. I received my first vaccine dose in August, after which a lymph node near my right breast swelled, which has now reduced by 70 percent. My second dose was on November 18, and the above test was done yesterday. Until last year, my cholesterol and sugar levels were normal, but they became borderline with my thyroid issues and have not improved. Am I at any risk due to these results, and what steps should I take to manage them?

Hey there, I have been experiencing chest pain for the last 15 to 20 days, along with some swelling around the rib cage bone. After researching, I found that my symptoms closely match Tietze syndrome or costochondritis. The pain is especially severe whenever I wake up from any resting position. I have attached an image from Google showing the exact area of swelling. My recent test report shows a TSH level of 7.2, while T3 and T4 are within normal limits. Please advise what home remedies I can try and whether I should consult a general physician or a cardiovascular specialist.
