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.

Question

I have been suffering from a thyroid problem. Yesterday, my test report showed T3 131, T4 7.7, and TSH 4.69. Can you please suggest the status of my thyroid?

I have extremely low TSH hormone. Does it mean that I have a thyroid disease? I have heard that it is not treatable and causes a lot of weight gain. Is it true in my case? For reference, I am attaching relevant details from my report. Thyroid profile: T3 125, T4 8.4, TSH 0.08.

Please check the attached reports, which include CBC, thyroid, and other test results. I tested COVID positive last month. I have been taking a 50 mg thyroid tablet for the past 5 years.
