I want to know the next course of action. My daughters weight is 39 kg and it is not reducing. We checked her blood report and found TSH is 18.87.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
TSH of 18.87 is high and indicates hypothyroidism, which can slow metabolism and cause weight gain or prevent weight loss. Please consult a pediatric endocrinologist and repeat the thyroid panel with Free T3, Free T4, and Anti TPO antibody tests to better assess thyroid function and confirm the diagnosis.

I am 23 years old and suffering from hypothyroidism. I often feel cold at normal temperatures, feel lazy, have thinning hair, and tend to forget things. I understand these are symptoms caused by low thyroid hormone production. My report shows a TSH of 456, whereas the normal range should be around 3 to 6. I have consulted a doctor and am taking prescribed medication. My concerns are: Can hypothyroidism be completely cured? Will my hair and cognitive function (thinking/memory) return to normal once it is treated?

My father is 76 years old and has hypothyroidism. He has been taking Thyronorm 25 mcg daily for more than a year. His recent blood test results are: T3: 90.55 ng/dL (normal range for above 50 yrs: 40 to 181 ng/dL) T4: 4.7 microgram/dL (normal range for above 60 yrs: 5 to 10.7 microgram/dL) TSH: 20.9 microIU/mL (normal range for 55 to 87 yrs: 0.5 to 8.9 microIU/mL) Should his dose be changed or kept the same? If it needs adjustment, what should the new dose be?
