As per my blood test report, my thyroid is 6.60 and MPV is 13.30. Should I take medicine for both? If yes, which medicine should I take?

TSH of 6.6 suggests hypothyroidism. MPV usually doesnt need treatment. Consult your doctor to start or adjust thyroxine.

My TSH level is 0.11, which is very low according to my report. I had alcohol the night before the blood test. Can alcohol intake affect TSH levels? Please advise.

Hello doctor, I had my full medical tests on 08 Aug. Everything was normal except for the TSH test, which was high at 9.56 mIU/L. I have attached my TSH test report for your reference. Could you please suggest what medications and precautions should be taken to bring it back to normal? I need to repeat my medical tests in 1 to 1.5 months, so I would like this issue to be addressed by then. Any suggestions, consultations, or prescriptions would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I have been taking Methimez 10 mg twice a day for hyperthyroidism for the past 5 months. I also have a thyroid nodule. Last week, my blood report showed a high increase in TSH level. What is the solution to bring my TSH back to normal?
