Thyroid and weight gain
I am a 23 years old female with height 5'4 and weight 78kg.
I started using thyroid medicine when I was 18 years old. Due to my irregular periods, I consulted Gyno, she then suggested thyroid test and prescribed me with Sodium thyroxine tablets.
I stopped taking that medicine almost 1.5 years ago, but I am again facing weight gain and irregular periods problem. So I did thyroid profiling and the following result came.
T3: 109.84
T4: 6.60
TSH : 3.983
Please suggest what should I do next.
Thanks and regards.
