8 months back my TSH was 4.5 and I am taking 87.5 mg for the past 2 years. Today my TSH is 9. My doctor is out of town. Can you please check my report and tell me if I can go for 100 mg and for how many months? Because my doctor keeps switching in between 87.5 and 100 mg. Does TSH level increase during monthly cycle? Kindly help with the dosage.

Your thyroid level is a bit high, which can happen due to stress, missed doses, or hormonal changes. Please do not change the dose on your own it is best to review with your doctor before adjusting.

I had my full body check up and all the reports were normal except for the TSH test, which showed a value of 6.000 while the normal range is 0.5 to 4.8, which is slightly higher. After seeing this, I found out that I have a thyroid issue. I am eager to understand more about it. Is it bad for my health? Will it last for a lifetime? And how can I get rid of it?

I am 77 years old and have a history of type 2 diabetes for the past 32 years, hypertension, and thyroid issues. My creatinine is varying around 1.55, and my conditions are generally controlled with medication, though there are reasonable variations. My blood pressure also fluctuates. However, my pulse rate is always higher than normal, within a range of 90 to 100. I also experience fatigue most of the time. Can you please explain the reason for this, its effects, and possible remedies? Thank you.

As per my blood test report, my thyroid is 6.60 and MPV is 13.30. Should I take medicine for both? If yes, which medicine should I take?
