I was diagnosed with thyroid 2 months ago but did not consult a doctor. Can I use the same 2 month old report to consult now, or do I need to get tested again?

You can use your 2 month old thyroid report for your initial doctor consultation. Share any symptoms like weight changes, hair fall, or tiredness with your doctor during the visit. Your doctor may suggest repeating the Thyroid Profile test (TSH, T3, T4) if needed, to check current levels before starting or adjusting treatment. Do not delay treatment, as thyroid imbalance can affect your overall health. Maintain a balanced diet and hydration while awaiting consultation.

In my recent thyroid report, my T3 and T4 levels are within the permissible range, but my TSH level is very high at 12.43. I am feeling very tense. Could you please let me know if this is dangerous or not?

My mother is 60 years old and has been taking Eltroxin 75 mcg for the past two months, as her TSH was 5.00 at that time. Prior to that, she had been taking Eltroxin 50 mcg for the last ten years. She recently had a thyroid test and the results are: T3: 0.90 ng/mL T4: 9.30 microgram/dL TSH: 16.23 mIU/L I do not understand why her TSH has increased so significantly despite taking her medication regularly. Please advise what steps we should take now.

I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last four years. I take Eltroxine 50 mcg every morning, but in my blood test report which came yesterday, TSH is 7.4. How can I keep my thyroid normal? I am a working female and got married last year.
