What is the correct thyroid medicine dosage?

Patient's Query

My mother is suffering from thyroid ,she had a mild stroke before some days now she is in bed .A physiotherapy is done every day at home.but she is very weak.we have done her thyroid test this is here T3-111.5 T4-9.02 TSH-7.110. Please let me know the exact power of her medicine.

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

It appears to me that she suffers from hypothyroidism because of a lack of energy amongst other symptoms. A high TSH means that the thyroid is not producing enough hormones. Possibly, she may have to adjust the dosage of her thyroid medication to correspond with these levels. Please ensure that she adheres to taking her drugs regularly as well as continuing physiotherapy for all-round healing.

Hello , I am 27 years old and i have testosterone value 2.89 ng/mL . And i make exercises fitness 3/4 days in week My question is : Can i take some testosterone ?

Male | 27

At your age, having a level of testosterone at 2.89ng/mL is right where it should be. There are several symptoms associated with lowT which include high fatigue levels, decreased libido, and even mood swings. It might be stress or some medical problems causing it; see a doctor before taking testosterone because if not done properly this could harm your body. If you sustain your exercise routine, eat well-balanced meals daily, and have adequate sleep every night -these activities will help maintain normal levels of this hormone.

I just checked my thyroid what does the interpretation means it's written there pregnancy and their ranges is it a reference

Female | 22

Pregnancy impacts thyroid function. Thyroid hormones control metabolism and e­nergy. Too high or low levels bring fatigue­, weight changes, and mood changes. Doctors watch the­se levels care­fully, ensuring healthy ranges. Issue­s prompt medication or treatments. Balance­d thyroid hormones benefit mothe­r and baby.

Hi, I know there is a very slim chance that you will respond. But can I ask you a question; I have hasimotos (diagnosed 7 years ago). I function the best when my tsh level is around 0.8. I had a bloodtest 7 weeks ago and out of nowhere my tsh level was 2.9, I was also very tired etc. So my doctor and i decided to up my medication from 100mcg to 112 mcg. however the last 4 weeks ive been gaining weight like crazy. Atleast 3,5 kg.I also have a lot of energy, unstoppable hunger and feel very aggatated. I did another blood test and my tsh level is now 0,25.

Female | 19

Your body has probably become alerted to the changes in the medicine you're consuming, as evidenced by the switch of drugs. A sudden drop in your TSH may cause you to have symptoms such as a feeling that your energy has escalated, increased appetites, and weight gain. To obtain the respective proper medication regimen, you should talk with your doctor.

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.

I have a deficiency in vitamin D it is 6 what do you recommend for me especially the dose

Female | 10

Your Vitamin D level of 6 is quite low, and it's important to address this. Usually, doctors recommend a high dose of Vitamin D supplements, often around 50,000 IU once a week for a few months, followed by a maintenance dose. However, it’s best to consult an endocrinologist for the right dosage and treatment plan for your specific needs.

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None

Male | 41

Graves' Dise­ase affects thyroid function. Your rece­nt TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To re­gulate hormone leve­ls, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as pre­scribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolle­d symptoms. These may include rapid he­artbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have­ any worries or questions, be sure­ to discuss them with your doctor.

I'm male person I need some enquiry to know about sugar disease.

Male | 23

Also referred to as diabetes, sugar disease occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin. The main cause is when the sugars in your body are not used adequately. If one has experienced this, coordinating regular exercises and consuming healthy choices would probably be a wise move.

Female | 21

You want to get fit. Be­ing too thin can happen if your body uses up food fast or if you do not eat a lot. To gain we­ight, eat good stuff like fruits, veggie­s, grains, and protein. Do not skip meals. Eat often. As for bre­asts, they come in all shapes and size­s for each girl. Pills may not change them much.

I am 55 year old person and having thyroid problem for last few years. I am taking medicine EUTHYROX 25. But I am in doubt with this medicine. Recently I tested my TSH test again, which result is below... T3 - 1.26 ng/mL T4 - 7.66 ug/dL TSH - 4.25 ml/UL (CLIA METHOD) Please suggest correct type of thyroid and medicine. Thanks

Male | 55

Your TSH level is a bit high, which means your thyroid isn’t making enough hormones. This can make you feel tired, gain weight, and be sensitive to the cold. People who have hypothyroidism usually take EUTHYROX 25 -- you might end up needing more or something else entirely. You must talk to your doctor about what all this means so they can help come up with a plan that will work best for you.

Hi, I am premaltha 27 year old i have thyroid issue.. i need consultation on my recent test report. Result is t3 :133, t4 : 7.78 and tsh 11.3..

Female | 27

From your test results, your thyroid is not producing enough desired functional capabilities. This can bring about warning signs like fatigue, weight gain, and sensitivity to cold. A high TSH level indicates that thyroid hormone production needs to be regulated again. The doctor may advise you on the kind of medication to take that works best for you.

I am 51 male am extremely active and barely eat but only have gained weight in my belly area. I feel that there is no other explanation other than some kind of medical condition or some kind of hormonal issue. What could it be. Thanks chad

Male | 51

Gaining belly fat even if you are active and eat properly might be the symptom of a condition called insulin resistance. This refers to a situation when your body does not react properly to insulin. The symptoms include weight gain in the belly, tiredness, and wanting to drink more water. To cope with this, take foods in balance, do frequent exercises, and consult a doctor so that they can have a medical check-up for the issue.

Female | 28

Steroids can impact your body ne­gatively. Common side effe­cts include weight gain, acne bre­akouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happe­ns because steroids inte­rfere with natural functions within your system. We­ight gain and acne result from hormonal changes cause­d by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt che­mical balances regulating emotions and sle­ep cycles. If expe­riencing these issue­s, consult your doctor immediately.
