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.

TSH of 12 suggests underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). 50 mcg Thyronorm is a standard starting dose. Dose adjustments should be done only after repeat TSH test after 6 weeks of starting. Avoid adjusting based on non-medical opinion.

Hello Sir/Mam, I need your suggestions. Today I checked my full body blood report, including lipid profile, liver, B12, D3, thyroid, CBC, and sugar. I have been suffering from thyroid issues for a long time, and my report shows the results. Apart from this, I see a few other counts, like lymphocytes, are not normal. Please suggest. I have been having the following symptoms for a long time: extreme fatigue and dizziness all day, especially in the morning?

Hi doctor, my mother was previously diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Recently, we received her blood reports. Kindly review them and suggest further diagnosis and appropriate medications to take.
