Should I Continue TSH 4.80 Dose or Increase?

Patient's Query

Tsh 4.80 continue with same dose ? Or increase dose?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

A reading of 4.80 may indicate that your thyroid function is slightly above the normal range, which can sometimes lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or sensitivity to cold. Please consider scheduling an appointment with endocrinologist to discuss your results and ensure appropriate management of your thyroid levels for optimal well-being.

My sugar level is 444 what to do

Male | 30

Having a sugar level of 444 is dangerous as it is extremely high. It may make you feel thirsty, and tired, and go to the bathroom too frequently. High sugar levels generally occur in diabetics. To reduce the number, you should react promptly. Drink water, consume sugar at a slower pace, and take the medicine as indicated by the doctor.

Hi, I am Male 32 years old, I suffer from Hashimoto, and recently did some other blood tests. My total bilirubine level was 2, (direct was 0.2 and indirect 1.8) I have normal ALT, AST, LDH and GGT, also a normal ultrasound( no problems where found on ultrasound). My Cholesterol was also very high (300) and LDL 230. Should I worry about the liver? SHould I start statin for my cholesterol and could my high colesterol be related to hashimotos?. My height is 180 CM and wight for the moment 75 KG. I have been overweight for many years. Max weight wa 90 kg

Male | 32

Your bilirubin is a bit high but your liver enzymes as well as the ultrasound tests are normal which is good news. High cholesterol can go with Hashimoto's - your thyroid problem. Looking at your LDL levels, it might be good to start taking a statin so that you can reduce this kind of cholesterol in your body. It will also help if you work on your weight and try living healthy.

Hi sir I'm neethu I have lump in thyroid gland and i have neck pain and shoulder pain is this lung cancer

Female | 24

Lumping your thyroid means a doctor needs to e­xamine it. Neck and shoulder discomfort some­times happens with thyroid issues. Lung cance­r usually doesn't cause thyroid lumps, but it's wise to che­ck for serious problems. Be sure­ to visit a doctor, ge­t evaluated properly, and have­ tests done to find out why you have symptoms.

I am 36 years old. I have TSH level of 3.6 microIU/mL. What should be the dose of my medicine. Currently I was prescribed with 50mcg.

Female | 36

If your TSH level tests positive with a figure of 3.6 microIU/mL, this is within limits but slightly on the higher side. Higher than normal TSH levels often come with symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain, and feeling cold when others are warm. In case you are experiencing any of these symptoms, alongside the fact that 50mcg is your current dose, it means that you may need to adjust it depending on what your body demands. You must always consult your doctor when there is a need to do so.

Increased risk for diabetes (prediabetes): 5.7-6.4% Diabetes: > or =6.5% When using Hemoglobin A1c to diagnose diabetes, an elevated Hemoglobin A1c should be confirmed with a repeat measurement, fasting glucose, or other test for diagnosing diabetes. All hemoglobin A1c methods are affected by conditions that increase or decrease red blood cell survival. Falsely high results may be seen with iron deficiency or splenectomy. Falsely normal or low results may be seen with hemolytic anemias, unstable hemoglobins, end-stage renal disease, recent or chronic blood loss, or following transfusions. Hemoglobin A1C View trends Normal range: 4.0 - 5.6 % 4 5.6 4.6 Estimated Average Glucose View trends mg/dL Value 85

Female | 27

If you have a Hemoglobin A1c level of 5.7-6.4%, you are at risk for diabetes. If your level is 6.5% or higher, it means that you have diabetes. Signs of this condition include thirstiness, frequent urination, weariness, or unclear eyesight at times. Overeating, genetics combined with little or no physical activity could be the cause behind it all or some of these symptoms coming up. Controlling your blood sugar requires eating well-balanced meals regularly and exercising often if not daily; medication may also be necessary depending on other factors such as age, sex, race, etc.

Agr testosterone estrogen ki medicine li jye toh pcos ka symptoms khudi hi manage ho jty?

Female | 23

PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a typical disease which usually combines both the menstrual cycle, acne, and weight and hormonal imbalances. Treatment can be effective when testosterone and estrogen levels are maintained at the right balance. Prescription medications, methods like the change of the way we are living, linked with good nutrition and regular exercise, and sometimes hormonal therapies can be effective solutions.

Hi .dr Please tell me that asghand testosterone increase krta women ka bhi? Mera testosterone already zyda but mery herbalist nay herbs ma asghand bhi include ki .mujy sumj nai a rhi kya yeh shi ha?

Female | 23

Asghand, also known as ashwagandha, can affect hormone levels, including testosterone. In women with higher testosterone, it might be beneficial but can also lead to unwanted symptoms such as increased hair growth or mood changes. It's essential to monitor your body's response when introducing new herbs. I recommend discussing this with a healthcare provider to tailor your approach, ensuring it's safe and suitable for your health needs. A professional can offer personalized advice based on your specific situation, ensuring you achieve your wellness goals effectively.

I have medical history of having mouth ulcers and ruhumatad arthritis and have on penidure la 12 injections for more than 3 years at the age of 15 . Right now I'm at my 40s and suffering from headache, diziness, low blood pressure and sudden low sugar levels, all of sudden fast heart beat, low eye vision, chills and heat no consistency in body temperature.

Female | 43

According to your medical history and your present state, it could be one of a few probable things. Your symptoms like a headache, dizziness, low blood pressure, hypoglycemia, high heart rate, and blurred vision could, for instance, originate from a number of reasons like hormonal changes, anemia, or a possibility of a side effect of long-term antibiotics such as Penicillin LA 12. It is important to consult a doctor to be properly evaluated and treated if necessary.
