I have booked an appointment on Saturday. I have TSH of 12 and T3 and T4 are normal but my report is two months old. Should I get my thyroid levels checked before consulting the doctor?

Yes, it is advisable to repeat thyroid tests like TSH, T3, T4 before the appointment since hormone levels may have changed in 2 months. This helps your doctor assess your current condition more accurately.

My blood report is attached. There is a rise in TSH and triglycerides are 230. There is also a lack of iron and vitamin D. I am taking blood pressure and blood thinner medicines. Kindly suggest what should be done?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 27 years old and 10 weeks pregnant. My blood test report shows Free T4 serum at 2.31 mg per dL and TSH at 0.021 microIU per mL. Do I need to start any medication now? I have never taken any medicine for thyroid before.

I had thyroid problems, so I underwent surgery. My question is, do I still have to continue my thyroid tablets or not? Thank you.
