Hello Doctor, I am 30 years old and recently had thyroid tests done, which showed TT3: 114, TT4: 9, and TSH: 33. I have not had my periods yet, my last period was in July, and a urine pregnancy test in August was negative. What should I do next?

Your TSH level of 33 is very high, indicating severe hypothyroidism, which can cause delayed or absent periods. Your TT3 and TT4 are in the lower range, supporting this. It is important to consult your doctor to start thyroid medication (thyroxine) as soon as possible to help regulate your thyroid levels and menstrual cycle. You do not need to repeat a pregnancy test unless there is a new exposure risk. Repeat your thyroid profile after 6 to 8 weeks once on treatment to monitor improvement.

Question

I am 38 years old, weigh 76 kg, and am 5.9 inch tall. I take 25 mcg Thyronorm for mildly elevated thyroid levels, a dosage that was initially suggested during my pregnancy in 2016 to maintain TSH around 3 to 4. About 8 months ago, my TSH rose slightly above the range (5.4), and I continued the same dosage. I recently learned about the health benefits of basil seeds and have started consuming 2 teaspoons of soaked basil seeds in lemon water daily. However, I read that people with thyroid issues should consult their doctor before taking them. I also have high cholesterol. Could you please advise whether it is safe for me to continue taking basil seeds daily?

Question

My TSH level is 0.11, which is very low according to my report. I had alcohol the night before the blood test. Can alcohol intake affect TSH levels? Please advise.

Question

Please check the results and suggest. I have attached my test report. My doctor has asked me to take Thyrox and Glycomate every day?
