Dear lybrate-user, it's a case of hyperthyroidism. I preferably advice you to do ANTI TPO antibody test and Whenever do a Thyroid profile do it on complete empty stomach for 10-12 hours.

Lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details. The rise in TSH level suggests that dosage of Levothyroxine being taken is not adequate. It should be increased to either 37.5 mcg or 50 mcg per day. Then TSH should be checked again after 6 weeks. It should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, to remain free from all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. If you have any doubt please do come back. Thanks.
