I am a thyroid patient and also have PCOD, which causes irregular periods. My recent sonogram shows an endometrial thickness of 7.1 mm. I have gained weight in the last 2 months and often feel dull and drowsy. Additionally, my TB test is positive, but my doctor advised not to take TB medication. What should I do now?

TB positive test must be discussed with a specialist, even if no symptoms. PCOD and thyroid together can cause weight gain and fatigue.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a TB Gold Test Test

I recently had a medical checkup and found out that I have thyroid issues. What steps should I take now regarding treatment, tests, and lifestyle changes?

She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 years ago. She was prescribed to take Thyronorm 50 and was advised not to stop it. However, now her T3 and T4 levels are within the reference range. Today she had palpitations with quite a lot of sweat. She says she feels better if she does not take the prescribed tablet but she is afraid too. Please let me know what needs to be done. Attached are the last blood test reports.
