I have been suffering from tiredness for the last 20 days. My blood report shows T3 3.17 nmol per L, TSH 11.01 uIU per L, and T4 is normal. My weight is increasing and I feel sleepy all day. The doctor has prescribed Thyrox 25 McLeods and Amitriptyline HCl 10 mg. Is it okay to take this medicine or should I consult another specialist. Please suggest what food to eat to recover and how much time it will take to recover completely?

Thyroid is underactive hypothyroidism. Treatment is correct. Symptoms may take weeks to improve. Recheck TSH in 6 weeks.

Question

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.

Question

My reports shows AMH (ECLIA): 0.199 and TSH (ultrasensitive): 4.687 What do these results mean for my chances of conceiving, and what precautions or steps should I take to improve my fertility?

Question

I am 77 years old and have a history of type 2 diabetes for the past 32 years, hypertension, and thyroid issues. My creatinine is varying around 1.55, and my conditions are generally controlled with medication, though there are reasonable variations. My blood pressure also fluctuates. However, my pulse rate is always higher than normal, within a range of 90 to 100. I also experience fatigue most of the time. Can you please explain the reason for this, its effects, and possible remedies? Thank you.
