TSH more than 2.5 is high in pregnancy. This should be treated to avoid risk to fetus. Please consult your OBGYN for levothyroxine.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

I have been experiencing palpitations, with my heartbeat becoming very fast. During these episodes, my body shakes, and I have severe neck pain. I am sending my report. Please advise me.

This is my routine blood test report, which I take every 3 to 6 months to check my thyroid. Last time, the doctor advised me to take Thyronorm 75 mg tablet, which I completed yesterday. I have now gone for my checkup. I just want to know whether I have to continue the same medicine or not. My reports are attached above.

I have been dealing with thyroid problems for the past 2 years. I need an analysis of my recent lab report and guidance on how to manage my condition.
