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?

First, find out if its hypothyroidism (low) or hyperthyroidism (high) by checking your TSH, T3, and T4 levels. Most people with thyroid issues need daily thyroid medicine, usually lifelong but safe. Take your medicine on an empty stomach, same time daily. Recheck your thyroid levels every 3 to 6 months or as advised.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

Sir, I did an echocardiography test four years ago. Sometimes I experience sudden fear, and if I run fast, my heartbeat becomes fast. I will attach the echo report. Please tell me about my report.

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in the early stage (borderline), and my doctor prescribed Thyronorm 25 mg. I took the medicine only for one month and then stopped. Now I am planning for my second pregnancy. Will hyperthyroidism affect my pregnancy? Is it necessary to continue thyroid medication, or can I manage without it?
