My report shows the following thyroid levels, T3 is 1.38, T4 is 69.1, and TSH is 12.0. This is my first time checking these values. Kindly advise if medication should be started.

A TSH of 12 suggests hypothyroidism. Your doctor may start a low dose of thyroid medication and recheck in 6 to 8 weeks. This condition is manageable and quite common.

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 years ago. She was prescribed to take Thyronorm 50 and was advised not to stop it. However, now her T3 and T4 levels are within the reference range. Today she had palpitations with quite a lot of sweat. She says she feels better if she does not take the prescribed tablet but she is afraid too. Please let me know what needs to be done. Attached are the last blood test reports.

I am 37 years old, and my period suddenly stopped this month. I checked a pregnancy test, and it is negative. Is this serious?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had a missed miscarriage 3 months ago. I have attached my report. Will I need to take any medicine now as we have already started trying to conceive? My gynecologist says to take medicine for 2 months. Please suggest?
