How to treat subclinical hyperthyroidism?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

What symptoms do you have? Did you also check free T4 and T3 besides TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)? If not done, please do a thyroid uptake scan. If you are symptomatic, you can be treated even if the hyperthyroidism is subclinical. Please send more information about how long you had symptoms, when did you first do blood tests, any current or previous pregnancy, and family history of thyroid disease, and attach the reports of the blood tests and scans if any.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Radioactive Iodine is not needed as soon as possible. You can get medicines first, like Methimazole (Lactose monohydrate, Magnesium stearate, starch, pregelatinized starch, and talc). I cannot prescribe medicines to you. Also, I need reports of all the blood tests and the thyroid uptake scan. You can visit any primary care doctor in your area and they can prescribe you medicines temporarily until you see the specialist. The symptoms you describe may be related to the thyroid or not. In the meanwhile, you can take medicines over the counter like Zyrtec (Cetirizine and pseudoephedrine) and Prilosec (cellulose, disodium hydrogen phosphate, Hydroxypropyl cellulose, Hypromellose, Lactose, Mannitol, and Sodium lauryl sulfate ), do warm water gargling and pain killers like Tylenol (Acetaminophen).

Thank you.
