Hi, my T3 and T4 are high but TSH is normal. I also have PCOS. Can you please suggest if these can be a reason for weight gain? Even with a normal diet, my weight is increasing continuously. Please find the attached blood test report.

Raised T3/T4 may be early hyperthyroidism. PCOS also contributes to weight gain. You may need hormonal balance and follow up. Please consult an endocrinologist and do the required thyroid and hormone tests again.

I have been experiencing skin rashes on and off for the past 3 months and used Montair LC or Cetirizine whenever they appeared. When I visited a dermatologist, he prescribed an anti allergic medication for a month and suggested some tests. In those tests, my TSH came out as 7.5 microIU/mL.

My hypothyroidism has been detected since last 6 years and I have been taking 75 mcg fixed dose of Thyronorm tablet with regular blood tests and check ups. Thankfully I have been able to maintain my TSH level in normal range for many years. But yesterday I got my report and my TSH level is 6.26 uIU per ml. I have been taking regular medicines. Is there anything to worry? What can I do to prevent TSH from increasing?

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?
