Prolactin of 40 ng/mL is mildly elevated. Rule out stress, thyroid dysfunction, or pituitary microadenoma. Treatment includes low dose cabergoline or bromocriptine UNDER EXPERT CONSULTAYION if periods are irregular or trying to conceive. Thyroid function must be checked.

Question

I have extremely low TSH hormone. Does it mean that I have a thyroid disease? I have heard that it is not treatable and causes a lot of weight gain. Is it true in my case? For reference, I am attaching relevant details from my report. Thyroid profile: T3 125, T4 8.4, TSH 0.08.

I have thyroid and I have my latest test report. I want to consult a doctor so that I can take proper medicines.

Question

Hi, recently I got my thyroid test done and found that my TSH is 6.031, T4 is 1.16, and Anti TPO is 81.60. I feel tired and sleepy all day long and am not able to concentrate because of this. I am also finding a lot of difficulty in losing weight, even after dieting and working out in the gym for long hours. I have been taking 50 mg tablet of Thyronorm daily. Kindly advise what I should do. Is my report okay or is there something wrong? What should I do to feel energetic again?
