I had my full body check up and all the reports were normal except for the TSH test, which showed a value of 6.000 while the normal range is 0.5 to 4.8, which is slightly higher. After seeing this, I found out that I have a thyroid issue. I am eager to understand more about it. Is it bad for my health? Will it last for a lifetime? And how can I get rid of it?

Mildly high TSH suggests subclinical hypothyroidism. May be temporary. Lifestyle, weight, and stress also affect thyroid. Monitor with repeat test.

I am 29 years old and 15 weeks pregnant now. I am using 137.5 mg Eltroxin tablet from one month. Today I got results of TSH 0.3, Total T4 19.9 and Total T3 1.96. Why does my total T4 level show high? Is there any problem for my pregnancy and my baby?

Hi Dr, recently I have seen high TPO antibody in my report but my TSH is normal. Please note that I have been taking Thyronorm 112.5 for the last 8 to 9 years. Is there anything to worry about. Please review my report and advise? Thank you.
