TSH is high, suggesting hypothyroidism. You may need thyroxine tablets. Consult an endocrinologist for exact dose.

I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last three years and infertility. I was taking levothyroxine 50 mcg daily, but recently I have been feeling low energy, gaining weight, experiencing hair thinning and hair fall, and my periods have become shorter with less bleeding than before. My gynecologist advised reducing the dose to 50 mcg, but my new report also shows a low TSH level. Please see my report. What should I do further? Is this something very problematic? Please advise.

My thyroid level has increased to 35. I do not know what to avoid and what to do to keep the levels normal. Please suggest.

Hello, I recently had my thyroid tested and I would like to know if my report is normal. I have been experiencing some symptoms that make me suspect hyperthyroidism, but I am not sure. Could you please help me interpret my results?
