I am 24 year old. I never have thyroid before but my father has. As I notice that im gaining weight and I did tsh test on my own and found its 2 point more than normal. Is it necessary to take medicine or it can be reduced by specific yoga or exercise? Cause I do not wanna take medicine if I have to continue for rest of my life.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Your tsh levels will be increased, if: your thyroid gland is not working as it normally should. Your thyroid gland is infected or inflamed, as in hashimoto's thyroiditis, or autoimmune thyroiditis. This occurs when your body is attacking your thyroid gland, for some unknown reason. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
