I have a 5.7 thyroid level. The maximum is 5.6. Do I have a thyroid problem? What should I do now and what precautions should be taken?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A TSH of 5.7 (slightly above 5.6) suggests mild (subclinical) hypothyroidism. If you have no symptoms, your doctor may advise observation and lifestyle changes. Eat a balanced diet, manage stress, get good sleep, and avoid skipping meals. If you have hair fall, weight gain, or tiredness, consult your doctor for possible medication. You can book a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) repeat after 6 to 8 weeks to monitor levels.

I have thyroid. I started taking 50 mcg tablet, then later increased to 75 mcg and now it is 100 mcg. Please advise as I am putting on more weight. The values in my report seem to fall within the proper range. Please advise and refer me to an endocrinologist?

Hello Doctor, I am Sharmila, 25 years old. During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues, and my doctor prescribed 50 mcg thyroid tablets. After delivery, I had my thyroid levels checked, and they have reduced. Should I continue taking the tablets, or can I stop them? I have attached my latest thyroid profile for your reference. Please advise
