Hello, thanks for the query.
The t4 value mentioned (1.96 ng/ml) appears to be incorrect, because that is showing too low. In hyperthyroidism it is usually very high (> 12 ng/ml). Tsh is lower than 0.01 or 0.02 mu/l. Please check that. If you have been on treatment for just one month all the symptoms will not go away. Tsh value needs to come to around 3 to 4 mu or even a bit high. All the symptoms mentioned are seen in hyperthyroidism. The treatment needs to be taken for 18 to 24 months. In ...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
In hyperthyroidism usually three methods of treatment are employed. 1)To give anti0thyroid drugs as Methimazole for a period of 18 to 24 months. During this period or just on conclusion of this period TSH returns to normal range (0.5 to 4.5 mU/L), then treatment is discontinued. In a few cases the condition reverses completely and no further treatment is required. 2) In case THS further goes down, then occasionally Methimazole like drug may be used once again ...more

Dear lybrate-user,
please let us know what your thyroid function results (t3 t4 and tsh) were before you started on thyronorm tablets and what the recent test results are, if tpo antibodies have been checked before let us know, otherwise check your tpo antibody levels also and let us know. Your being overweight is s separate problem and not related to the thyroid issue
regards
professor m s seshadri.

If your tsh is normal- then no. Follow this 1. 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 traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds a...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is no mention of actual TSH and T4 levels and even the dosage of Carbimazole. Based on whatever stated in the details, the reason for high TSH is excessive dosage of Carbimazole . Normal TSH expected to be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L at which level most of the symptoms related to thyroid conditions are absent.
Another aspect which is very important point is in case of hyperthyroidism in quite a few patients ...more
