TT3 is slightly low, TSH is within normal but on higher side. If she feels fine, same dose can continue. Repeat in 6 to 8 weeks. Please do the required TSH and FT3 or FT4 tests again.

Question

My recent blood report shows that my TSH level is 12.04. I am a female, currently weighing 83 kg with a height of 6 feet 7 inches. My doctor has prescribed me 50 mcg of Thyronorm. However, a family member who is also a physician suggested that because my TSH level is quite high, I could take 125 mcg instead. I am confused about the correct dosage and would appreciate your guidance based on the report. Thank you.

How often do you do a blood test in hypothyroidism?

Question

My mother feels heaviness in her head for a long period of time. During this, she finds it very difficult to remember things and feels tired. Continuous brain fatigue is making her very weak over time. Recently, her hormone levels have decreased. I am attaching her blood test report. Please suggest what is wrong with her and what medication she should take next? She is also not gaining weight no matter how much she eats. Additionally, she has periods twice a month. Please advise.
