I had a total thyroidectomy surgery due to papillary thyroid carcinoma. It has now been almost 9 years. My recent test results are thyroglobulin less than 0.040 ng/ml, TgAB less than 10 IU/ml, free T4 20.82 pmol/L, and TSH 3.60. Is my report okay? I am currently taking 125 mcg Thyronorm. Do I need to increase the dose? Is my TSH high currently?

Tg level is appropriate post surgery. TSH of 3.6 is borderline high for a post thyroidectomy patient. Please take a repeat TSH and Free T4 to fine tune dosage.

Take a THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test or Take a FREE T4 (FT4) Test

Question

My son is 15 years old. His blood report shows TSH greater than 150. He weighs 70 kg and is 5.6 inches tall. He looks normal and active and plays games like kabaddi volleyball and cricket. The doctor prescribed Tyronorm 100 mg. Is that much dose required and can it be cured?

Question

Hey there, I have been experiencing chest pain for the last 15 to 20 days, along with some swelling around the rib cage bone. After researching, I found that my symptoms closely match Tietze syndrome or costochondritis. The pain is especially severe whenever I wake up from any resting position. I have attached an image from Google showing the exact area of swelling. My recent test report shows a TSH level of 7.2, while T3 and T4 are within normal limits. Please advise what home remedies I can try and whether I should consult a general physician or a cardiovascular specialist.
