Thyroid problem
Hello,
I have done total thyroidectomy 5 years back due to enlargement of my thyroid gland
Now i am currently taking 75 mcg thyronorm medicine and recently i had done TSH test. So my test result shows that my thyroid levels has gone down to 0.489 mIU/ml
However i don't experience any major symtoms but some mild includes tiredness, feeling sleepy, weight lose
Please suggest if i should change my thyronorm mcg or continue with the same?

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your current TSH level of 0.489â¯mIU/mL is slightly on the lower side, especially post-thyroidectomy. Mild symptoms like tiredness, sleepiness, and weight loss may suggest slight over-replacement with 75â¯mcg Thyronorm.
However, since symptoms are mild and TSH is not severely suppressed, a small dose adjustment (to 62.5 mcg or alternating 75/62.5 mcg) may be considered after reviewing FT3/FT4 levels.
Next step: Consult your endocrinologist with full thyroid profile. Avoid changing the dose on your own.

Stop medications for 15 days.
Repeat thyroid profile after 15 days and have a follow up.
