It is completely understandable to feel concerned about these symptoms, but please be reassured that they are very common when balancing thyroid levels. Your thyroid hormone, levothyroxine (Thyronorm), closely regulates your menstrual cycle, and fluctuations can sometimes cause temporary spotting. The pressing feeling in your throat could be related to thyroid activity or mild swelling. Since thyroid needs can change, the next best step is to share your recent thyroid test results with your doctor. They can safely evaluate if your Thyronorm dosage needs a slight adjustment and gently examine your neck. You are doing the right thing by paying close attention to your body.

Since your heart and lung tests are normal, a likely possibility is pill-induced esophagitis. Certain pills, particularly iron supplements, can irritate the sensitive lining of your esophagus if they dissolve there. I recommend speaking with your doctor about this possibility. In the meantime, try taking your medications with a full glass of water and remaining upright for at least 30 minutes afterward to help them pass safely.

A TSH level of 13 indicates your body is lacking essential thyroid hormone. The most reliable way to normalize your thyroid and regulate your periods is to restart your prescribed levothyroxine (Thyronorm 75 mcg). Alternative therapies unfortunately cannot replace this vital hormone. I highly recommend consulting your doctor to safely restart your medication. They will monitor your blood levels in a few weeks to ensure your dosage is perfect.

While raw garlic, bhoomi amla, and Punarnava mandur have health benefits, caution is needed. Levothyroxine (Thyronorm) must be taken on an empty stomach, so please avoid raw garlic or herbs for at least an hour afterward to ensure your thyroid medication works properly. Since you have abnormal liver tests, introducing herbal supplements like bhoomi amla and Punarnava mandur could strain your liver further or interact with febuxostat. I highly recommend discussing these herbs with your doctor before starting them, so they can safely monitor your liver and thyroid levels together.

It is completely understandable to feel anxious, but many women with large fibroids have safe, successful deliveries with proper care. Your wife is doing wonderfully by managing her thyroid with levothyroxine (Thyronorm) and gestational diabetes with metformin (Gluconorm), alongside her iron and folic acid (Folinal d). To safely manage the fibroid, close monitoring with regular ultrasounds is key. Her obstetrician will plan a precise delivery strategy, ensuring measures are in place to manage any bleeding risks. Staying well-hydrated, getting plenty of rest, and avoiding heavy lifting can help minimize early labor risks. Keep attending all prenatal appointments; her medical team is fully prepared to ensure a safe, healthy birth.

For someone of your weight (73 kg) who has undergone a thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma, a daily dose of 150 mcg of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) is very appropriate. After thyroid cancer surgery, we use slightly higher doses of levothyroxine to suppress Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), which helps prevent any cancer recurrence. Your medical team will monitor your blood levels in about 6 to 8 weeks to make sure this dosage is perfectly tailored to your needs.
