I recently had a thyroid test, and my results are: TSH: 6 microIU/mL T3: 0.87 ng/mL T4: 5.83 microgram/dL Does this indicate hypothyroidism? Can my TSH, T3, and T4 levels return to normal without taking medication? If so, how many months might it take to achieve this naturally, and what steps should I follow?

Your TSH of 6 with low normal T3 and T4 suggests subclinical or mild hypothyroidism. If you have no major symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or mood issues, you can try natural management for 3 to 6 months. Focus on a balanced diet, selenium-rich foods, stress control, exercise, and early sleep. Some people normalize without medicine, but others may need treatment later. Retest TSH, T3, and T4 after 3 months to assess progress.

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

View allMy mother has had thyroid issues for a long time and she takes her medicine regularly. She works a lot at home but is still unable to reduce her weight. She has rheumatoid arthritis and because of it, she is unable to do exercise or any extra outdoor activity to reduce weight. Painkillers have side effects on her, so she is now taking Ayurvedic medicines for pain relief. Recently, I had her general health test done through 1mg. Her thyroid was slightly high and her WBC count was elevated, but not to the extent that needs immediate medical attention. She is coping well, but there are some gaps in her healthcare. She has visited different doctors, but things are still not improving. I am unable to find a correct doctor for her so that we can take proper care of her health?

Hi Doctor, my mother (71 years old) has been experiencing a burning sensation throughout her body. Many medicines have been tried but they have not relieved her symptoms. Could this be related to thyroid problems? Can you please explain the symptoms of thyroid disorders?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
I have been diagnosed with thyroid issues for the last 7 years and am currently taking Thyronorm 150 mg. I had a thyroid test yesterday, and the results are normal. Should I continue with the same dose, or adjust it?
