Question 1

Hello Doctor, My mother has a history of low blood sodium levels, which has previously caused sudden unconsciousness, and she also has a history of thyroid issues. Today, her blood test shows a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) level of 4.59 mclU/mg. An earlier test report showed TSH as 9.9, but the unit was microIU/mL. Which unit is correct, and how should we interpret these results?

Question 2

My wife thyroid test report is attached. She has been taking Thyronorm 75 mg for seven years. Can the dose be reduced?

Question 3

I took medicine a few minutes after intercourse, and then my first period started, but it lasted only 1.5 days. After that, I started having daily stomach pain, so I consulted a gynecologist, who advised an ultrasound. The report impression was excess bowel gas. Later, my second period started but was not clear. Today, I feel like my menses should come, but it has not. My gynecologist advised me to take Amycordial syrup and a TSH test. I had also done a pregnancy test before my first period, which was negative. Could you please advise what is happening? Is it possible that I am pregnant?

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.
