The values suggest that you have vitamin b 12 deficiency, vitamin d insufficiency and subclinical hypothyroidism if your T3 and T4 are normal.Continue with mecobalamin and vitamin d ,
You have shared that your bit D and B12 are low and an elevated TSH. You have also started the supplement, which are absolutely the first steps towards fixing it.
What you need to do is:
1. Continue Methylcobalmine and Vit D supplements for a period of 8 weeks and then reassess the levels.
2. You haven't mentioned if you have been on any Thyroid medication or is this a new finding of your health check?
Next Steps
please repeat 2 tests on a fasting stomach to establish your Thyroid condition and to know the medication status for it.
1. Thyroid profile
2. Anti Thyroglobulin( Anti-Tg) antibodies.
Health Tips
you are on the right track with regards to your supplements.
TSH olis normally 0.4 - 4.0. So you are on the higher side. But the test is half done. Do a T3 and T4, to know whether the hypothyroidism is subclinical or overt. Then we will advise you accordingly.
Yes, it is a matter of concern.
Deficiency fulfill than nothing. Hypothyroidism
Add thyroxine 75 mcg before breakfast in empty stomach for 2 months, not to stop as uneed follow up with md physician.
Add shalcal 500 one after dinner as thyroxine is calcium depleting agent so bones become weak.
