Question 1

My test report shows that my thyroid level has increased significantly. Since September, I have been taking medicine to control my thyroid. I have been taking Thyronorm 75 mcg daily since last year. I have been feeling body pain for the past week, get tired very quickly, and feel that my body size is increasing rapidly.

Question 2

I have had a thyroid problem for the last 13 years and take Eltroxin, adjusting the dose according to my test results. I usually take 50 mg, but when my TSH level increased to 100, I increased the dose to 200 mg. Currently, my TSH is 0.025 and T4 is 33. Please advise what I should do.

Question 3

I am 38 years old, weigh 76 kg, and am 5.9 inch tall. I take 25 mcg Thyronorm for mildly elevated thyroid levels, a dosage that was initially suggested during my pregnancy in 2016 to maintain TSH around 3 to 4. About 8 months ago, my TSH rose slightly above the range (5.4), and I continued the same dosage. I recently learned about the health benefits of basil seeds and have started consuming 2 teaspoons of soaked basil seeds in lemon water daily. However, I read that people with thyroid issues should consult their doctor before taking them. I also have high cholesterol. Could you please advise whether it is safe for me to continue taking basil seeds daily?

I have hypothyroidism and I am on thyroxine 100 mg. Recently I got my blood test done and TSH is very low. Kindly suggest if my medicine needs to be changed? I am attaching my report.

A very low TSH on 100 mcg thyroxine indicates overmedication. Dose adjustment is necessary to prevent cardiac and bone complications. Consult your endocrinologist for gradual dose reduction. Retesting TSH is essential in 6 weeks after any change. Please take the Thyroid Profile again.
