lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. In hypothyroidism lipids do get disturbed. Once tsh is well controlled, there will be positive effect on lipids too. However, with such high ldl there is a need for taking a statin like rosuvastatin for a few months. Tsh needs to be maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l for being symptoms free. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

Madam with tsh 0.014 mu/l you have gone in to drug induced hypothyroidism. Tsh needs to be around 3 to 4 mu/l to remain in control & free from symptoms of that condition. Please let me know what are the t3 & t4 levels now or when tsh was noticed to be low? It is clea that your current dosage needs to be reduced 37.5 mcg per day. Then check tsh (preferably full thyroid hormone) again after 6 weeks. If you have any questions please do come back. Please te...more

Itching can be due to infection - fungal or viral. Treatment will vary based upon your symptoms and any kind of discharge. You can have an online consult with me regarding the same to determine the exact cause and start appropriate treatment for the same.

Heart flutters are related only to hyperthyroidism and not to gastric problems. It is very important to treat underlying hyperthyroidism as, left untreated, it will cause a variety of health problems. If even after treating hyperthyroidism, your heart problem doesn't resolve - it needs to be treated as well; otherwise the condition can deteriorate. It is important to get an ECG done to identify the exact nature of heart problem. If needed, you can have an online consult regarding the same.

Hello, thanks for the query.
The dever and other symptoms that one gets after taking covid vaccine are quite common you can take fever reducing tablets which usually are given after the vaccination. As regards the levothyroxine dosage, that should be taken as usual. There is no change. Thanks.

Increased pulse rate and palpitations could be due to increased thyroid hormone synthesis. You need to check your tsh, free t3 and free t4 along with sodium, potassium and calcium. It could also be related to anxiety.

A good diet which will suit you with an appropriate excercise plan will help you lose weight. Remember losing weight is not easy, bu...more

Mr Vijay Kumar, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details written. Please tell me what is the current TSH level now and what was it when hypothyroidism was detected? Because your free T4 is quite high. It means there an excess of Thyroxine (probably due to excess dosage of Levothyroxine). Because in hypothyroidism heart rate is slower than normal and there is no palpitation. So please check total thyroid functions and come back, preferably in a private conversation, where I can prescribe...more

Your thyroid (hypothyroidism) is under control you should continue taking thyroxine 75 micrograms. Thyroid tablets should be taken empty stomach in the morning with water for better absorption. You should wait at least before you take breakfast. Regarding the medication given by your dentist you can take after breakfast. This is a safe vitamin supplementation you can take it.
