Hi Doctor, My mother is 50 years old. We recently did a complete blood test for her. Overall, her health is fine, and she is not on any medications. Most of her test results are normal, but her thyroid hormone (TSH) is 6.09, which concerns me. Could you please advise your suggestions? Should we visit a doctor for this?

TSH 6.09 is slightly high. If your mother has no symptoms, its likely subclinical hypothyroidism. Monitor TSH and check T3, T4 after 6 to 8 weeks. Treatment may not be needed unless symptoms appear.

Hi Sir, We recently did a thyroid test for my wife, who gave birth 5 months ago. The results are: T3: 2.96, T4: 0.54, TSH: 62. Is this normal after delivery, or should we start treatment? If treatment is started, will her thyroid levels come down to normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My test report shows that my thyroid level has increased significantly. Since September, I have been taking medicine to control my thyroid. I have been taking Thyronorm 75 mcg daily since last year. I have been feeling body pain for the past week, get tired very quickly, and feel that my body size is increasing rapidly.

My TSH is 16.1, but my T3 (1.31) and T4 (8.02) are within the normal range. Surprisingly, I am underweight at 56.5 kg with a height of 172 cm. The other symptoms of hypothyroidism also do not match the high TSH results, whereas symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as tachycardia, anxiety, and sleeplessness are seen. I am confused. What should be inferred here, please?
