It seems that you have a high
TSH level of 13, which indicates underactive
thyroid (hypothyroidism). This can contribute to symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, irregular periods, and hair fall. Your current dose of 75 mcg of thyroid medication might need adjustment, as your symptoms suggest that the hormone levels are not yet balanced.
Here are a few suggestions for managing your condition:
1. Follow Up with Thyroid Tests: It might be time to reassess your thyroid function tests, including Free T3, Free T4, and repeat TSH, to determine if your medication dose is adequate.
2. Diet & Nutrition: Continue with a balanced diet that includes enough iodine, selenium, and zinc, as they support thyroid function. Consider consulting a dietitian who can guide you on a thyroid-friendly diet.
3. Adjust Medication: Sometimes, a slight increase in the thyroid hormone dose is needed to bring TSH to the desired range. Speak with your doctor about whether a dose adjustment might be necessary.
4. Lifestyle: Regular exercise, even low-impact activities like walking or yoga, can help manage weight and improve energy levels. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is also crucial for overall well-being.
