Q. What can cause weight gain, sweating and tiredness?
Hi doctor,
Recently, I ordered thyrocare test. The test report shows total triiodothyronine (T3) CLIA 117 ng/dL, total thyroxine (T4) CLIA 10.9 µg/dL, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) CLIA 9.04 µIU/mL, FT3 - 3.03, FT4 - 1.08 and anti-microsomal antibody (AMA) - 315. My BP is 145/90 mmHg. I have symptoms of anxiety, weight gain, sweating, tiredness, increased heartbeat, heart burn, disturbed and less sleep. I am currently taking Beta Anxit 20 mg daily and occasionally Pantocid 40. Do I need to take any other medicine? Please advice.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- You are having symptoms of hypothyroidism and the reports too are suggesting the same.
- I recommend you to start tablet Eltroxin (Levothyroxine) 50 mcg every morning in empty stomach and repeat TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) after two months.
