The latest thyroid test report shows T3 91.05 ng/dl, T4 10.20 microgram/dl, and TSH 0.950 microIU/ml. She was taking 125 mg Thyronorm tablets until the latest test report on 8th September. The tablet was initially recommended when TSH was 7.17 microIU/ml. Since the levels are now normal, can the medication be stopped or should the dose be reduced?

TSH is now normal. Do not stop medicine abruptly. A doctor may reduce the dose (e.g. 100 mcg), but only under medical supervision with regular monitoring.

Question

My blood test report has shown some abnormal figures, but I neither consume alcohol nor smoke. What could be the possible cause of this? I have read that heavy workouts at the gym may also cause changes in liver enzymes. My LDH is 375 IU/L, and my TSH is 6.4 mIU/ml. Could you please clarify what this indicates? I am planning to repeat the test in a different lab before consulting a doctor. At present, I do not have any issues with my bowel movements, urine, or food intake. During this period, I was also taking Acutret 10 mg for 10 days, and the test was conducted while I was on this medication. Could this tablet have caused any side effects reflected in my report?

Question

Recently, I underwent the 86 test package and the report shows some blood parameters that are either above or below the normal range. I am not sure which specialist doctor I should consult. The main findings are: TSH is about three times higher than normal, and there are deficiencies in Vitamin B and Vitamin D. Kindly guide me on which specialist to visit.

Question

I am a 29 year old female and recently received my blood report showing a TSH level of 6.7. I consulted a doctor who prescribed Thyronorm 50 mcg. When I asked about the duration of treatment, he mentioned it could be for 1 year, 2 years, or possibly lifelong. I have been under significant stress for the past two months due to some family issues. Is it possible that stress caused my TSH to rise? Should I start the medication now, or would it be better to retest after a month to see if the TSH levels change? My cholesterol, blood pressure, and other tests are normal.
