I was diagnosed with thyroid issues about a year ago. For the past two months, I have noticed swelling in my hands and feet. I also feel lethargic, always tired, and have difficulty concentrating. Could these symptoms be related to my thyroid, or might there be another cause? Please guide me

Swelling in hands/feet, tiredness, and poor concentration can be due to uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Thyroid imbalance can cause water retention and lethargy. It is important to do a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) to check current levels. If thyroid levels are normal, other causes like low protein or kidney issues may need to be ruled out. Consult your doctor with the reports for medication adjustment.

Hello, my aunt recovered from viral fever last week. She is not under any medication now. However, for the last 2 to 3 days, she has developed severe headache and nausea. On checking with a local physician, she was advised to do TSH, T3, and T4 tests. Previously, she was under medication for high TSH but stopped the medication a few months ago thinking everything was normal and feeling fine. The fresh test today shows TSH 18.77, T3 117, and T4 9.4. The reports indicate a high TSH level. She is worried and needs help.

My thyroid was removed at the age of 20 (seven years ago0 and my TSH is normal. In this situation, would there be any problem with pregnancy, and would there be any problems with the health of the child before or after delivery?
