Hello, Thanks for the query. When one is on treatment with adequate quantity of thyroxine, TSH is maintained around 3 to 4 mU/l and all the symptoms are in check. T4 & T3 levels are normal only because one is on treatment. The day one stops it, TSH will be affected and all the symptoms will be back. So treatment has to continue for lifetime. Thanks.

Takayasu arteritis is a large vessel vasculitis disease which leads to narrowing of main blood vessels arteries and it can be controlled with prednisolone tablet or surgery.

Lybrate-user, when hypothyroidism is in good control tsh values should be between 3 to 4 milli units/l. 7 milli units, means there is no proper control. This can lead to reappearance of some of the symptoms. So it is essential to increase the dose to 75 mcg, then after 6 weeks check the tsh level, and if level as mentioned above, then continue the same dose. Thanks.

Make sure that your Thyronorm tabs are taken on empty stomach i.e. 30-45 min before eating anything. The other medications can be taken in the afternoon.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. It would have been better if you had mentioned the actual TSH level when Hypothyroidism was diagnosed and what is the level now after taking Levothyroxine for (?) a few days or weeks. Since it is hormone deficiency disorder, that hormone has to be supplemented daily for lifetime. There is no alternative. Thyroid function test has to be done, which measures T3, T4 and TSH. Sometimes Anti TPO antibodies may also be tetes, more so in females. Thanks.

If she has only constipation problem, but not vomiting or fever or any other asociated problem then give her plain isabgoal powder one spoon in luke warm water. Give her warm drink to take.

Dear lybrate-user It's looking like you are having sub clinical hypothyroidism. Maybe an error in test. Did you give fasting sample of blood for thyroid or you gave it after food. Is the test suggested by doctor or you took it by self. Please go consult a Ent doctor near you and he will clarify all your doubts. There looks no connection between your hair fall and sore throats with your thyroid report. Get well soon.
