Hi, I have noticed bald patches on my beard and scalp. I consulted a doctor, and they advised me to do blood tests for Fasting Glucose, TSH, and Serum Anti TPO. I have done the tests, and the results are, Fasting Glucose is 93, TSH is 6.039, and Anti TPO is greater than 1300. After getting the report, I did not get a chance to consult the doctor again. I searched on the Internet and found that it may be related to thyroid problems.

High TSH and Anti TPO indicate autoimmune thyroid (likely Hashimoto). Consult an endocrinologist.

I have thyroid. I started taking 50 mcg tablet, then later increased to 75 mcg and now it is 100 mcg. Please advise as I am putting on more weight. The values in my report seem to fall within the proper range. Please advise and refer me to an endocrinologist?

Today I got my thyroid levels checked after 2 months, and the results show T3: 7.30, T4: 3.20, and TSH: 0.037. Two months ago, my thyroid report was normal, so I reduced my Thyronorm from 50 mg to 37.5 mg (25+12.5 mg). I am very tense about these results, and I have also noticed weight gain. Please advise what I should do next.
