My TSH level is 0.11, which is very low according to my report. I had alcohol the night before the blood test. Can alcohol intake affect TSH levels? Please advise.

Alcohol intake can mildly affect thyroid tests, but such a low TSH likely indicates hyperthyroidism. Re test after avoiding alcohol and consult endocrinologist.

My father is 76 years old and has hypothyroidism. He has been taking Thyronorm 25 mcg daily for more than a year. His recent blood test results are: T3: 90.55 ng/dL (normal range for above 50 yrs: 40 to 181 ng/dL) T4: 4.7 microgram/dL (normal range for above 60 yrs: 5 to 10.7 microgram/dL) TSH: 20.9 microIU/mL (normal range for 55 to 87 yrs: 0.5 to 8.9 microIU/mL) Should his dose be changed or kept the same? If it needs adjustment, what should the new dose be?

I am feeling very sleepy, weak, and experiencing excessive hair fall. I thought these might be symptoms of a thyroid problem, but my test report shows a level of 3.01. The lab mentioned a thyroid disorder. Do I have a thyroid problem?

I recently had a full body check up, and some of the results indicate high TSH, high cholesterol, and a few other concerns. I would like to know which specialist I should consult to review my report and provide the best healthcare advice.
