I have hypothyroidism. I did TSH in the month of March this year. The thyroid level was 4.2. I am taking thyronorm .25 mcg regularly in empty stomach as prescribed by an endocrinologist I consulted almost 3 years back. I am taking the drugs Depakote 500mg and Qutipin 25mg regularly as prescribed by my psychiatrist which I was taking earlier also. I want to know should I continue with the same dosage or should there be any changes?

I just want to ask whether should anyone take thyroid medicine before giving sample for Thyroid test . I take medicine regularly early in the morning empty stomach. i take ELTROXIN -25 MG should i take my medicine or not ?

Hello doctor, I'm obese. My Endocrinologist has prescribed me Glycomet Sr 850 twice daily for 3 months. Will I be able to lose weight with this tablet? How it works? Please explain me. Thank you.

I was hypothyroid for almost 30 years and the recent report showed me lower on TSH. I am experiencing severe weight loss and rapid heart beat in first half of day. I was taking 50 mg from mon to sat and 100 mg on Sunday. My doctor reduced the dose of my thyroid medication "Eltroxin". Now I take 50 mg on all days. It is now one month but my problems continue. I would like to know if my doctor could have further reduced the dose ? She reduced the dose very little because she said that the dose has to be reduced only little by little. My TSH as on May 2016 was 0.12 mcIU/mL. I feel my doctor is being too cautious. Please let me know if she is giving me right treatment or I should consult another doctor?

Please advise whom should I consult, an ent or endocrinologist or any other for the following symptoms; Note: I was hypothyroid for several years but recently I have become hyperthyroid. Following are the symptoms: 1. Every day morning when I wake up and sit down, I feel some block around my ear. The block is so severe that I am hardly able to hear. 2. This problem sometimes disappears in the afternoon after I have a nice hot meal. This disappearance happens few hours after I have had my lunch. But this behavior is not consistent. Sometimes it leaves 4-5 hours after lunch. But once it leaves, it doesn't come back for rest of the day. 3. I also feels that when this problem is there (let me call this as inflammation), my heart is racing too fast. When the inflammation is gone, my heart racing is normal 4. I also observed that this inflammation aggravates when I am feeling cold and when more physically active.
