I recently had the following test results Anti TPO: 110 TSH: 6.80 Total T3: 114 Total T4: 8.4 HbA1c: 6.2 Total cholesterol: 229 Average heart rate: 70 to 86 (from pedometer band) Lipoprotein: 9.86 High sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP): 14.86 Previously, my CRP test before vaccination was non reactive. I received my first vaccine dose in August, after which a lymph node near my right breast swelled, which has now reduced by 70 percent. My second dose was on November 18, and the above test was done yesterday. Until last year, my cholesterol and sugar levels were normal, but they became borderline with my thyroid issues and have not improved. Am I at any risk due to these results, and what steps should I take to manage them?

Your thyroid reports show mild hypothyroidism with anti TPO positivity, and your HbA1c and cholesterol are borderline high, which can happen with thyroid issues. The raised CRP may be due to inflammation, possibly related to the recent vaccine or other minor infections, especially since your lymph node has reduced. Continue monitoring your thyroid and cholesterol, maintain a healthy diet and regular activity, and repeat your thyroid profile, HbA1c, lipid profile, and CRP after 3 months to track progress. Discuss these findings with your doctor for further personalized management.

Question

I recently had a medical checkup and found out that I have thyroid issues. What steps should I take now regarding treatment, tests, and lifestyle changes?

I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last three years and infertility. I was taking levothyroxine 50 mcg daily, but recently I have been feeling low energy, gaining weight, experiencing hair thinning and hair fall, and my periods have become shorter with less bleeding than before. My gynecologist advised reducing the dose to 50 mcg, but my new report also shows a low TSH level. Please see my report. What should I do further? Is this something very problematic? Please advise.

Question

I am a 29 year old female and recently received my blood report showing a TSH level of 6.7. I consulted a doctor who prescribed Thyronorm 50 mcg. When I asked about the duration of treatment, he mentioned it could be for 1 year, 2 years, or possibly lifelong. I have been under significant stress for the past two months due to some family issues. Is it possible that stress caused my TSH to rise? Should I start the medication now, or would it be better to retest after a month to see if the TSH levels change? My cholesterol, blood pressure, and other tests are normal.
