My TSH is slightly elevated. Should I consult an endocrinologist?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query and read each one of your reports that you have provided (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The slightly high TSH is insignificant and can be safely ignored. It could also be due to not sleeping properly as improper sleep can disrupt hormones. Try yoga and meditation as well for insomnia. Repeat your thyroid function testsafter three months just to be sure. Yes, vitamin D deficiency can cause insomnia. Your triglycerides are also slightly on the higher side. I would recommend that youavoid junk food and have a low-fat and low-carb diet. Your uric acid is also slightly high but does not require any treatment. Just diet control will suffice.

1. Avoid sea foods and meat.

2. Drink eight to 10 glasses of water daily.

Hope you find my advice of some benefit. Good luck.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You do not have any thyroid gland disorder and so you do not need to visit an endocrinologist. The diet I advised was only for your dyslipidemia (high triglycerides) and high uric acid and has nothing to do with your thyroid gland. Thyroid gland problems can never be treated by diet.

Hope my answer helps. Good luck.
