Hyperthyroidism -

2026-03-12 07:37:09
Condition: Hyperthyroidism My mother is 65 years old and has been suffering from hyperthyroidism since 2020. She has been taking prescribed medicines regularly, but her condition has not improved significantly. Her TSH levels are consistently very low, and even during medication the thyroid test results keep fluctuating. I have the latest thyroid reports available and can share them for review. Recently, we have noticed several concerning symptoms: Loss of appetite Extreme sensitivity to smells (she cannot tolerate strong smells) Gradual muscle weakness and muscle loss Irregular and fast heartbeat, sometimes her pulse reaches around 140 General weakness and discomfort We would like guidance on why the thyroid levels are not stabilizing despite medication and what further treatment or tests might be required.

Get serum electrolytes and magnisium levels also. Get ISG thyroid also . You have not mentioned how much eltroxin is she taking. Report is of 5th March. Get latest thyroid profile test along with electrolytes and USG thyroid test done. Also get her cardiac work up also to be done. Monitor her pulse and BP every 4 hours .. prepare a chart and then discuss with cardiologist or a physician locally
