I am a 35 year old male with a slim build, but I have a tummy circumference of around 41 inches and a little fat on my face. I am also taking thyroid medication. How can I reduce tummy fat effectively?

Belly fat is common in hypothyroid patients. Focus on strength training, walking, and low carb meals. Recheck your Thyroid Profile to see if dose is working. Avoid crash diets.

I am a thyroid patient and I am taking Thyronorm 25 mg regularly. This time, my report shows that my TSH level has increased to 6.90. I am also experiencing symptoms such as excessive hair fall, mood swings, and constant fatigue.

Hi doctors. I have done TSH testing for the first time. My report shows 33.574. I do not have any symptoms of high TSH. I am not able to understand why it is high. Should I do another TSH test?
