Very high TSH suggests under treatment. Dose likely needs to be increased to 75 mcg or higher. Please repeat TSH in 6 weeks after dose escalation.

Kindly suggest the medicine level. My current dose of Eltroxin is 75 microgram. How are my test report results? Any advice or new medicine recommended?

I have a thyroid condition and am taking medication, which keeps it under control. Lately, I have been experiencing frequent memory problems and difficulty recalling things or speaking clearly. This is affecting me both at work and personally. Could this be related to my thyroid, or should I consult a specialist? Please guide me.

Hi doctors. I have done TSH testing for the first time. My report shows 33.574. I do not have any symptoms of high TSH. I am not able to understand why it is high. Should I do another TSH test?
