Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. As you have stated, if hypothyroidism is well controlled, the person has absolutely normal life. There are hardly any issues. However, if you are having "mood swings" even when thyroid hormone levels are normal (no levels are mentioned, so difficult to comment), then one has to look for are there any other causes. The information given is very nonspecific, that is there is no way to know whether the person is a male or female, w...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details mentioned. Your tsh is too high, (if 100.01 mu/l is correct.). That means your current treatment is inadequate. In a well controlled hypothyroid patient tsh remains around 3 to 4 mu/l & t3, t4 are in the specified range. Even prolactin is also high, that is because hypothyroidism is not well controlled. Plus with a bmi (body mass index) of 29.6 kg/sq meter (normal <23 kg/sq meter) you are almost in grade 1 obesity. You have an exces...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details mentioned. From the the "recently done" thyroid report it is clear that your current dosage is not adequate. When one is on adequate dosage of levothyroxine, tsh is maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l and t4 as well as t3 are within the normal range. That helps control all the symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. Usually it is essential to check thyroid hormone levels whenever dosage is altered or symptoms of the condition (like tire...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. However, there is no mention about your recent or current thyroid hormone levels (t3, t4 & tsh). Usually if hypothyroidism is well controlled (t4 in normal range & tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l), then all the symptoms of that condition which include weight gain, lethargy, slow heart rate, anxiety, early fatigue, dry skin, dry hair etc. Are present. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to take adequate dosage of levothyroxine an and ke...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details given. However, there is no mention of the dosage (mg per tablet), and importantly tsh, t4 & t3 values. Without knowing the vital information it is difficult to comment. However, usually antithyroid treatment (particularly tablets either carbimazole or propylthiouracil) is given up to 24 months. Beyond that if the condition does not improve, then other treatments are considered like radio active iodine ablstion or surgery. So please...more
