Hello, thanks for the query.
To diagnose sub-clinical or overt hypothyroidism it is necessary to look at mainly tsh and along with that t3 & t4 levels. Since you have not mentioned tsh level at all it is difficult to comment. Plus if you have been advised to take 75 mcg levothyroxine means you must have had overt hypothyroidism. Since the information is scanty no further comments can be made. Thanks.

It is bad for the health of your wallet or purse.
Get your nutrition from proper foods that preferable you prepare yourself. If you do, you don’t need horlicks, intended for either men or women.
If you don’t have time for this, then maybe you need to re-examine your priorities in life. Proper, nutritious food must be at the top of your list of priorities.

Is your tsh under control? First of all you should change your eating habits like
1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditiona...more

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
