Very high TSH suggests under treatment. Dose likely needs to be increased to 75 mcg or higher. Please repeat TSH in 6 weeks after dose escalation.

I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last four years. I take Eltroxine 50 mcg every morning, but in my blood test report which came yesterday, TSH is 7.4. How can I keep my thyroid normal? I am a working female and got married last year.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I received my blood test report for a free thyroid test. My FT3 and FT4 levels are normal, but my TSH is 10 microIU/mL. What does this mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 4.5 months pregnant and have a thyroid condition. My current TSH level is 4.13. For the past 2 to 3 days, I have been experiencing mild stomach cramps and stretching sensations in my lower abdomen. Is this normal during pregnancy?
