There is mild hypothyroidism. Do regular exercise. Take plenty of fluids. Avoid Oily Spicy Smoked and Deep Fried Food Avoid Tea Coffee Dark Chocolate Pastries Red Meat Cabbage Cauliflower, Soy Products etc. Medication as such not required but you can start with Thyronorm 12.5mcg once daily in empty stomach at around 6-6:30 am for 3 months then repeat the thyroid profile test. But before that I would recommend Thyroid Profile (Free Blood) test as that would give accurate diagnosis as most of the labs do Thyroid Profile (Total Blood). Consult in case of emergency under Practo.
