My TSH value is 13.38. Am I suffering from thyroid?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) value, it is evident that you are experiencing hypothyroidism. The appropriate treatment for this condition is Levothyroxine. To determine the correct dosage, it would be helpful to know your weight. Providing this information will enable me to assist you in determining the appropriate dosage of Levothyroxine.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• It is difficult to comment on how long the disease has been ongoing. The levels and values of TSH do not give any idea.
• In fact, I say to my patients that hypothyroidism is actually not a disease, but your body just produces less amount of thyroid hormone.
• The symptoms include weight gain, tiredness, fatigue and indigestion.
• I suggest you to take Thyroxine 50 mcg and dose would require adjustment to the level of thyroid (TSH) performed after two months. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.
