In my recent thyroid report, my T3 and T4 levels are within the permissible range, but my TSH level is very high at 12.43. I am feeling very tense. Could you please let me know if this is dangerous or not?

High TSH usually means hypothyroidism. It is treatable with thyroid medication. It is not dangerous if managed early. Consult your doctor for starting treatment.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

I have thyroid. My recent test report shows T3 118, T4 7.21 and TSH 3rd generation 6.89. I am having a nasty headache at the top of my head and pain around my eyes. Can anyone suggest some medicines?

I want to know if I need to seriously consult an endocrinologist as I have low TSH level of 0.17. I am also attaching a screenshot of my blood report. Please suggest what to do next? Thanks in advance.

Hi Sir, We recently did a thyroid test for my wife, who gave birth 5 months ago. The results are: T3: 2.96, T4: 0.54, TSH: 62. Is this normal after delivery, or should we start treatment? If treatment is started, will her thyroid levels come down to normal?
