I am having heaviness and gastric discomfort. I had a body checkup one year ago, which showed mild fatty liver, and everything else was fine. Now I feel heaviness along the right rib line extending to my back. I had pain while walking 15 days ago. I consulted a doctor, and he suggested some tests: Thyroid T3 2.34, T4 8.1, TSH 9.01, HBsAg negative, total cholesterol 217, triglycerides 207, HDL 42, LDL 115, VLDL 39, cholesterol/HDL ratio 4.5, LFT normal, total bilirubin 1, and urine routine examination normal. The doctor prescribed Hepataz tablet for 15 days and Roseday 20 mg for 3 months. Now my pain is gone, but I feel heaviness at night during sleep and after eating. Please advise?

Your symptoms are likely due to mild fatty liver combined with hypothyroidism (TSH 9.01) and borderline high cholesterol. This can lead to gastric heaviness, especially after meals or while lying down. Since the pain has improved with medication, continue Hepataz and Roseday as advised. Eat light, early dinners, avoid oily/spicy food, and walk daily. Recheck your TSH, liver, and cholesterol after 6 to 8 weeks.

My recent blood report shows that my TSH level is 12.04. I am a female, currently weighing 83 kg with a height of 6 feet 7 inches. My doctor has prescribed me 50 mcg of Thyronorm. However, a family member who is also a physician suggested that because my TSH level is quite high, I could take 125 mcg instead. I am confused about the correct dosage and would appreciate your guidance based on the report. Thank you.

Doctor, I had swelling in my thyroid glands and was asked to do a US. The US showed a cystic nodule and I was advised to do FNAC. Please verify my biopsy results, which I have attached, and guide me. What do they indicate?

Today I have done my TSH test and my report is TSH 3rd generation 1.33. So please tell me can I continue the medicine or not? Earlier I was taking 100 mg. So please suggest what I should do? Thank you in advance.
