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.

I had a sixteen day period flow last month. I visited a local doctor who prescribed medicine to stop the flow and asked me to visit a gynecologist if it continued. My flow stopped after taking the prescription. After a week, my flow started again, so I visited a gynecologist. The gynecologist said everything is normal and the flow may be due to hormonal changes or thyroid issues. He gave me a prescription and asked for a blood test to check thyroid. My flow stopped again after taking the prescription, and I got my blood tested. Currently, all hospitals in my area are full, so I could not visit the gynecologist to show my blood test report. I have attached my blood test report and the prescription. Please guide me about my condition now and future prescription if I get periods again with long flow duration?

Hi, my T3 and T4 are high but TSH is normal. I also have PCOS. Can you please suggest if these can be a reason for weight gain? Even with a normal diet, my weight is increasing continuously. Please find the attached blood test report.

I suffered from asymptomatic COVID-19 two months ago, and my test was negative after seven days. After that, I developed a thyroid problem 1.5 months ago. I have consulted my doctor and am taking all medicines regularly. I am a married woman for seven months, and we have been trying to conceive for one month, but I have not become pregnant. Please give me some advice?
