I have hypothyroidism, earlier I had 150 tsh level and gone through 100 mcg thyronorm med. I had no symptoms of it though when I had it, I lack healthy body and was very underweight. Which was strange to this condition. Now its 4 years passed and I checked regularly, it was normal. But recent days I took the medicine with food always, I checked tsh level now amd it was 26. When I consulted Dr. he said to increase dose to 125 mcg. So do I need to increase? Or stay with 100 mcg but have before 1 hr before food. Will it solve problem?

It's important to follow the advice of your doctor when it comes to adjusting your thyroid medication dose. Based on your recent tsh level of 26, it's likely that your thyroid hormone levels are not adequately controlled on your current dose of 100 mcg. Your doctor may recommend increasing your dose to 125 mcg to bring your tsh level back into the normal range. Taking your medication at least an hour before food can help ensure proper absorption, but it may not be enough to fully control your hypothyroidism. It's important to work closely with your doctor to monitor your tsh levels and adjust your medication dose as needed to keep your thyroid hormone levels within the normal range.
