I have extremely low TSH hormone. Does it mean that I have a thyroid disease? I have heard that it is not treatable and causes a lot of weight gain. Is it true in my case? For reference, I am attaching relevant details from my report. Thyroid profile: T3 125, T4 8.4, TSH 0.08.

Low TSH may indicate early hyperthyroidism. It does not cause weight gain. It is manageable with proper care. Do the required thyroid antibody and repeat function tests.

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.

Hello, my name is Kavya. I recently had a thyroid test done and would like to know if my results indicate any thyroid issues or if I need to start any medication. My report shows, T3 total is 129.5, T4 total is 5.00, and TSH is 3.85.

Recently, I had a thyroid test. My T3 and T4 values are low, but TSH is normal. My hemoglobin is 10.5. I do not feel weakness or fatigue, but I am worried if this could be a serious problem, as I read it might indicate anemia. Also, for the past 2 months I have noticed pigmentation changes on my facial skin. Please advise.
