My grandmother is in pain from this problem. When she went to the doctor, the doctor told her that she would need a thyroid test.

If your grandmother is feeling weak or tired, testing for thyroid is a good step. Hypothyroidism is common in elderly and can cause fatigue, swelling, and mood changes. Treatment is usually simple and effective.

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.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 27 years old and 10 weeks pregnant. My blood test report shows Free T4 serum at 2.31 mg per dL and TSH at 0.021 microIU per mL. Do I need to start any medication now? I have never taken any medicine for thyroid before.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been suffering from thyroid issues for the past 6 months. Recently, I was also diagnosed with PCOD, and I have gained significant weight. I am trying to conceive and would like guidance on how to manage these problems so that I can improve my chances of pregnancy
