Hi Doctor, my mother (71 years old) has been experiencing a burning sensation throughout her body. Many medicines have been tried but they have not relieved her symptoms. Could this be related to thyroid problems? Can you please explain the symptoms of thyroid disorders?

A burning sensation throughout the body can be caused by nerve issues, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances like thyroid problems. In elderly women, thyroid issues can also cause fatigue, mood changes, and temperature sensitivity. To confirm, do a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) and check Vitamin B12 levels too, as both can trigger similar symptoms.

I am pregnant, and my TSH level is 8.21 as per my blood report. Should I be worried?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please read my report. Now I am currently 32 weeks pregnant. Upto the 2nd trimester thyroid reports were normal. I am using Tyronorm 50 mg. T4 is slightly above. Is there any problem? Please suggest.

I have been experiencing brown creamy vaginal discharge with a little bit of blood. What does this indicate? I also have thyroid problems and have always had irregular periods.
