My thyroid function test shows TSH of 4.90?microIU/mL. I have been experiencing hair loss for the past two months, and my hairline has receded significantly. Could this hair loss be due to my thyroid levels?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A TSH of 4.90 is on the higher end of normal borderline for hypothyroidism. Hair loss and receding hairline can be linked to even mild thyroid imbalance. Its helpful to check T3 and T4 levels too for a full picture. Other causes like stress, low iron, or vitamin D/B12 deficiency can also affect hair. Repeat thyroid profile and basic nutrient tests.

Hello, my aunt recovered from viral fever last week. She is not under any medication now. However, for the last 2 to 3 days, she has developed severe headache and nausea. On checking with a local physician, she was advised to do TSH, T3, and T4 tests. Previously, she was under medication for high TSH but stopped the medication a few months ago thinking everything was normal and feeling fine. The fresh test today shows TSH 18.77, T3 117, and T4 9.4. The reports indicate a high TSH level. She is worried and needs help.

I have been experiencing a low grade fever for the past 15 days, mostly in the evenings between 7 to 10 PM, and sometimes after 4 PM. The temperature varies between 98.5F and 99.5F. I have taken Dolo 650 twice. I sometimes feel heaviness in my eyes, but it improves after eating. I have done a Widal test and CBC, which showed only a mild increase in ESR. I am unable to understand the cause of this persistent fever. What could be the reason, and what treatment should I follow?
