Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. The main reason for weight gain appears to be uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Ideally in a well controlled patient t3 & t4 are in normal range plus tsh is around 3 to 4 mu/l. It is clear that you have not checked tsh on regular basis, hence there is a tremendous increase. First thing is to bring tsh with in normal range by increasing the dosage of levothyroxine. Secondly there is a need to look at your dietary intake, extent of daily e...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. It is clear that the dosage of Levothyroxine advised was less than optimum. That is the reason for TSH going up. Ideally when adequate dosage is taken TSH is maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L and T4 level is with in the specified normal range. (you have not mentioned T3 & T4 levels). So there is a need to increase the dosage of Levothyroxine. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Your current tsh level (1.43 mu/l) is well with in the normal range. It is usually recommended that tsh should be around 3 to 4 mu? Or with in the normal range mentioned in each labs report, which is around 0.5 to 5 mu/l with minor variation in upper limit. Another important aspect is one should be symptom free. So your current dosage is fine. However, please check the thyroid levels once in 6 months to see if those are in range. If...more

It is better you consult a local physician/endocrinologist so that necessary investigations are done and proper medications are decid...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam I have seen the query. Soy products contalin flavins which are supposed to be having antithyroid effect, so it is better to avoid them. As regards other vegetables like spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, radish etc, it is better to use those sparingly as these also have antithyroid effect. But usage in small quantities does not affect. There is no question about absorption, because you are advised to take thyroxine tablet early morning on empty stomach and then...more

You should continue the same dose if you have no symptoms as such. Moreover, after starting Eltroxin, TSH levels take about 6-8 weeks to stabilize. So just wait and get tested again after a month to aptly decide the dose.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details mentioned. What you have given is very general information, based on which there is no way to decide what is the actual situation. I need to know your current T3, T4 & TSH levels as well as the same levels when you were diagnosed to have hypothyroidism. In case of hypothyroidism heart rate is usually slower than normal. There is no increased heart rate at all. Also let me know why did you stop the medication? Had you checked the ...more
