TSH is high, suggesting hypothyroidism. You may need thyroxine tablets. Consult an endocrinologist for exact dose.

I took a thyroid test due to hair loss. My blood report shows normal T3 (73 ng) and T4 (9 microgram) levels, but TSH is slightly elevated at 7.46 microIU. Is this normal? Could this be the cause of my hair loss? Do I need any medication to control the TSH level? Please suggest.

I am under medication with 150 mg thyroxine for the past 8 months. Recently I took a blood report 15 days back which shows TSH 0.41, T3 3.9, and T4 1.05. Can you please tell me if these values are normal or not?

My thyroid level is 6.412, which is higher than the normal range. Is it very critical? My last period was on 24th December, and I did not have periods in January. Is the thyroid level very critical? Can someone suggest medicines for this? I consulted a doctor, and he prescribed Thyronorm 50 mg. Is it fine to take? Below is my report. Can someone check and tell me about the criticality?
