Question 1

My report says thyronormalcy and my fasting blood sugar is 104.8. However, I am having symptoms like weight gain, inch loss, loss of appetite, insomnia and increased thirst. I do not eat junk food, I walk daily and I am active in doing all work. Still my weight is 93 kilograms and my waist is 36 inches and still decreasing. What could this be? Kindly suggest?

Question 2

My father is 76 years old and has hypothyroidism. He has been taking Thyronorm 25 mcg daily for more than a year. His recent blood test results are:
T3: 90.55 ng/dL (normal range for above 50 yrs: 40 to 181 ng/dL)
T4: 4.7 microgram/dL (normal range for above 60 yrs: 5 to 10.7 microgram/dL)
TSH: 20.9 microIU/mL (normal range for 55 to 87 yrs: 0.5 to 8.9 microIU/mL)
Should his dose be changed or kept the same? If it needs adjustment, what should the new dose be?

Question 3

My thyroid was removed at the age of 20 (seven years ago0 and my TSH is normal. In this situation, would there be any problem with pregnancy, and would there be any problems with the health of the child before or after delivery?

My T3 and T4 levels are normal, but my TSH is high. I have attached my report for your reference. I was previously taking Thyronorm 62.5 mcg, but I have stopped it recently. Should I continue taking it? Additionally, I would like to check my estrogen and progesterone levels.

Elevated TSH with normal T3 or T4 suggests subclinical hypothyroidism. You should not stop medication without supervision. Retesting TSH, along with estrogen and progesterone if fertility is a concern, is advisable.
