For the last four days, she has been taking Thyroxin 25. After starting the medicine, her whole body seems swollen and she feels sleepy throughout the day. She is 10 weeks pregnant. What should I do? Should I stop the thyroid medicine?

Sudden swelling and sleepiness after starting Thyrox needs urgent thyroid re evaluation. Do not stop medicine without test. Could be under or over dosing.

Hi, My thyroid test shows a TSH level of 4.52 microIU/mL, and it is marked as high in my report. Does this require medication, or is it something that can be monitored?

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 aunty has been experiencing back pain, fatigue, and occasional bloating and lower abdominal pain. Her recent blood test shows: BUN: 6.78 L Urea: 14.51 L Triglycerides: 193 TSH: 9.390 H Are these results normal, or do they indicate any underlying health issues?
