Hello, Thanks for the query.
TSH 0.005 mU/L is is quite low. It can lead to drug induced hyperthyroidism. Therefore, dosage of Thyroxine needs to be reduced. It is better to reduce 25 mcg per day, then check TSH after 6 weeks. Thanks.

It depends on your previous tsh values. If it's the first time you need to check tpo antibodies. If you're asymptomatic I will prefer to leave it aside. However if the antibody test is positive there's a strong chance that you might need thyroid replacement in the future.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
Please mention the thyroid function test results (t3, t4 & tsh levels), then only I will be able to give an opinion. Agar aap ko hypothyroidsm hai aur usaka ilaj nahi kiya hai to aap ka vajan badh jayega. Usake saath monthly period ko bhi problem ho sakata hai. Aur baki ke bahut sare symptoms bhi ayenge. So please come back with following detail: weight, height, t3, t4 & tsh levels and any treatment being taken. Thanks.

Kantiji, Thanks for the query.
On treatment with thyroxine, one should be able to maintain TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L, then only all the symptoms are in control. Therefore, your present dose appears to be inadequate. Better to increase by 12.5 mcg, then check TSH after 6 weeks, if level still more than recommended, then the dose may have to be increased again. Thanks.

lybrate-user, Thanks for the quer.
Since you have started taking Thyroxine only 10 days back, there will be no change in TSH. It takes more than 4 weeks for TSH levels to show the effect. So do not change the dose. Check TSH level after at least 6 weeks then check. If level is down to about 3 to 4 mU/L, then continue the same dose. Thanks.

Levothyroxine which is a synthetic form of thyroxine, the hormone produced by our thyroid gland. It is the only medicine useful to treat hypothyroidism. Therefore, by and large there are no troublesome side effects in most of the patients. But occasionally patients do get side effects like "headache, sleep problems (insomnia), nervousness, irritability,
fever, hot flashes, sweating, pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest, changes in your m...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Your TSH 5.5 mU/L is fine considering your age. Because at this age it is better to have TSH around 5 to 6 mU/L. Lower TSH means increased Thyroxine (T4) activity. Which is not advisable in the persons above 60 years. So no need to increase the dosage. Another aspect do you have any symptoms associated with this situation? If there is no problem at all, then just forget about it. Thanks.
