Question

Last 3 months back I checked with doctor with thyroid reports. Doctor advised me to take 25 mg for 2 days a week and 50 mg for 5 days. I took for one month and stopped. Then I started taking 25 mg for the past 2 months. I have been taking 25 mg for past 7 to 8 years so I continued the same. Now today my TSH is 5.05 ml. Should I continue 25 mg or 50 mg. Please suggest. I am attaching my report. That time free T3 T4 T5 report I showed to doctor. Now my weight is increasing even on normal diet and I have hair fall and dandruff issues. Please suggest what to do? Remaining all is very good. No health issues and periods are normal.

I am a thyroid patient and also have PCOD, which causes irregular periods. My recent sonogram shows an endometrial thickness of 7.1 mm. I have gained weight in the last 2 months and often feel dull and drowsy. Additionally, my TB test is positive, but my doctor advised not to take TB medication. What should I do now?
