Hi doctor, tomorrow my hysterectomy is scheduled and in the pre operative blood test report thyroid has been detected. The doctor advised me to take Thyroxin 50 before coming to the hospital tomorrow. I also take Olmighty 20 mcg daily for hypertension. Could you please suggest if it is a normal procedure to take the thyroid medicine? I am too stressed about it. Any help would be appreciable. Thank you.

It is normal to start Thyroxine before surgery if thyroid levels are abnormal. It helps stabilize metabolism during and after surgery. Continue Olmighty as well. Inform surgical team about both medicines.

I have a thyroid condition and am taking medication, which keeps it under control. Lately, I have been experiencing frequent memory problems and difficulty recalling things or speaking clearly. This is affecting me both at work and personally. Could this be related to my thyroid, or should I consult a specialist? Please guide me.

Hello doctor my wife is 7 weeks pregnant and a bit worried. Her blood report shows TSH 4.83 and free T4 12.16. TSH seems a bit high and free T4 is normal. I have attached the blood report. Are there any serious issues and does this require any treatment?
