I'm concerned about my TSH level, which is 18.24. Is this considered dangerous? What does it say about the state of my thyroid? I've already done tests like T3, T4, and checked for anti-thyroid antibodies. Could you give me some advice on how to manage or control this?

A TSH level of 18.24 suggests hypothyroidism, which means your thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormones. It's good that you've undergone comprehensive tests, including T3, T4, and anti-thyroid antibodies, to assess the cause. Treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, and I recommend consulting your healthcare provider for a tailored treatment plan to bring your levels into balance.

I accidentally took THYRONORM twice today, once at 8 am and then again at 2:30 pm after lunch. I was actually supposed to take my blood pressure medicine, Lover 100 mg. Can you tell me if it's okay for me to take my BP medicine now? And is there anything else I should do since I took an extra dose of THYRONORM? I'm really worried about what this might do.

yes you can take it
