Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam I have seen the query. The tsh value is with in normal limits. Which means the current dosage of levothyroxine (25 mcg) is correct and has to be continued. If you reduce the dosage then tsh value will go up and t4 is likely to down. Another important aspect is that with a bmi (body mass index) is 34.4 kg/sq meter (normal < 23 kg/sq meter), which means you have an excess of almost 26 kg. That needs to be taken care of. Reducing the dosage may increase the we...more

I'm seeing a girl for a prospective matrimonial partner. She is 27 with a height of 5’3” and weight 55 kg. She reported that she has ongoing medication of thyroxine 25 mcg for subclinical thyroid. I want to know how critical is this illness. Whether it has some serious symptoms, and implications and is curable or not. Are there implications for pregnancy complications or possibility of pass it to the child?

she said her hypothyroidism was diagnosed when she had a bit of weight gain and hair fall a couple of years back with tsh levels of 8miu/l. Does tsh levels of 8miu/l indicate subclinical hypothyroidism? Some articles online suggest tsh 8mlu/l as overt hypothyroidism and not subclinical. After that doctor suggested thyroxine 25 mcg. Now her tsh is around 2.5miu/l with the medication. 

also, her mother is suffering from hypothyroidism. Is there anything to worry about? Can she live a healthy life with ongoing medication? Are there any dietary restrictions for this or does any other care need to be taken apart from the medication?

It is not serious condition.
With tab. Of 25 mcg she is well controlled.
Ask her to take this drug empty stomach and nothing except water up to 1 hour.
Donot take cabbage in diet

Check anti tpo test to see auto-immune status.
Go for marriage, as 10 % population is suferring with this problem.

Low levels of thyroid hormone can interfere with the release of an egg from your ovary (ovulation), which impairs fertility. In addition, some of the underlying causes of hypothyroidism — such as certain autoimmune or pituitary disorders — may impair fertility.

Hi dear friend.
I noted down your history. Here are the few points I would like to add from my side.
1) your pulse rate was/is high because your hb was/is low. 2) now as it is better than before but still you should take some supplements for vitamin b12 as well. 3) consume diet rich in iron like spinach, beetroot, dryfruits, eggs etc.
4) if all the above is corrected and still pulse is high then need to see for other issues like anxiety.
Thanks and regards.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details. However, you have mentioned only tsh value, nothing about t3 & t4. It is necessary to know those values also. Tsh 4.6 mu/l is not really high. It must be with in the normal range mentioned in your lab report. In uncontrolled hypothyroidism tsh invariably goes uch higher and t4 values also may be low. Please come back with all the values also mention your weight & height. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the quey.
I have seen the query. I am sure your doctor has told you that pentaprazole needs to be taken at last 30 to 40 minutes before breakfast. So please take in that fashiom. As regards taking levothyroxine, it is better if that tablet is taken early morning say around 6 am, because it is necessary to avoid taking any food or drug for almost an hour. Thanks.
