I'm taking Thyronorm 25mcg daily, but my recent TSH test shows 10.798 microIU/ml. Should I continue with the same tablet or change it?

A TSH of 10.798 means your thyroid is still underactive, so Thyronorm 25 mcg may be too low for you. Do not stop the medicine, but you will likely need a dose increase, which should be decided by your doctor. Continue taking it daily on an empty stomach and repeat the TSH test after 6 to 8 weeks once the dose is adjusted.

Planning for pregnancy Tsh is 3.22Need thyroid tablet 2

A TSH of 3.22 is slightly above the ideal range for pregnancy planning, as most guidelines recommend keeping TSH below 2.5. This may indicate mild or subclinical hypothyroidism, but treatment decisions depend on your full thyroid profile, including Free T4 and thyroid antibodies (TPO). In many cases, doctors may consider starting a low dose of levothyroxine (such as 25 mcg) to bring TSH into the optimal range before pregnancy, especially if thyroid antibodies are positive or there is a history of miscarriage or infertility. However, not everyone with this TSH level requires medication. The decision should be confirmed with your doctor after proper evaluation. Do not take medications on your own.

What are the side effects of long-term use of Thyronorm for my hypothyroidism?

Long-term use of Thyronorm is generally safe if the dose is well-monitored, but overdosage can cause palpitations, weight loss, anxiety, or bone thinning. Regular thyroid function tests are important to keep levels in balance.

In the previous month my TSH was 3.4 and T3, T4 was norma

A slight increase in TSH from 3.4 to 3.6 after one month of taking Thyronorm 25 mcg is usually not clinically significant. Such small changes may occur due to normal day-to-day variation, laboratory differences, or factors such as the timing of the blood test and medication intake. Thyroid hormone levels often take several weeks to stabilise, and one month may be too early to see a clear response, especially with a low starting dose. It is advisable to continue to follow up with your doctor for repeat testing and dose adjustment if needed.

I have hypothyroidism and want to get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Should I do it?

Patients with hypothyroidism are at an increased risk of certain nutrient deficiencies, particularly vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, and selenium, which can contribute to fatigue, weakness, and impaired thyroid function. It is advisable to discuss targeted blood tests with your healthcare provider based on your symptoms, dietary habits, and current thyroid therapy. Identifying and addressing any deficiencies through diet or supplementation under medical supervision can optimise energy levels, support thyroid health, and improve overall well-being
