My TSH level is 0.11, which is very low according to my report. I had alcohol the night before the blood test. Can alcohol intake affect TSH levels? Please advise.

Alcohol intake can mildly affect thyroid tests, but such a low TSH likely indicates hyperthyroidism. Re test after avoiding alcohol and consult endocrinologist.

I am attaching my thyroid function test report and would like to know if the levels are normal. My TSH is low. I am experiencing difficulty falling asleep, hair loss, swelling in my left eye, and persistent tiredness. Please advise.

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 have recently undergone a thyroid test. My TSH and T3 are within the normal range, and T4 is also normal but on the higher side. Is this a cause for concern? I am attaching the lab report for your reference.
