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.

My report says thyronormalcy and my fasting blood sugar is 104.8. However, I am having symptoms like weight gain, inch loss, loss of appetite, insomnia and increased thirst. I do not eat junk food, I walk daily and I am active in doing all work. Still my weight is 93 kilograms and my waist is 36 inches and still decreasing. What could this be? Kindly suggest?

Previously my report was on June T3 113, T4 13.9 and TSH 3.76. Recently my report is on March T3 102, T4 10.7 and TSH 3.27. Presently I am taking Thyronorm 50 medicine daily once. Will I continue the same dose or should I lower it? Please suggest?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I wanted to ask if it is possible to have hypothyroidism even when thyroid levels appear normal. My recent test results show T3 at 130, T4 at 9.71, and TSH at 1.23, all within the normal range. However, I am experiencing several symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, slowed thinking, extreme laziness, and memory issues. Could these symptoms still be related to a thyroid issue despite the normal lab values?
