Endocrinology

1)Thyroid medication - thyronorm to be taken before the blood test or after the blood test on the blood test day.  Can that change the results ? 2) can hypothyroidism change to hyper After 20 years 3) some say weight and dosage play an important role in thyroid medication.is that true . I am 50 kg lady taking 175 for more than 20 years and then docs tried 150 saying I am taking very high dose but it didn't come in range . so again on 175 I know it can cause bone problems but what can I do 4) for accurate results is it ok to take thyroid medicine first and then get blood test in empty stomach?

Pioglitazone induced edema

My mother was taking metformin gliclazide and pioglitazone triple drug combination since many years. Simultaneously she was also taking nebivolol and hydrochlorothiazide combination. So there is no edema developed due to pioglitazone because of hydrochlorothiazide medicine is running. But 6 months ago endocrinologist has changed medicine from nebi H to Nebi . Then my mother has developed swelling and edema in legs. Creatinine is normal Echo is normal Venous doplar both legs are normal Ddimer is normal Tsh is normal Hb1ac 6.7 So he  changed treatment like below Pioglitazone is  stopped and metformin and gliclazide is continue and sitagliptin is added. Nebivolol is stopped and chlorthalidone 6.5 mg is added. Today we have done CXR It's showing bilateral prominent bronchovascular markings Do we need to worry sir Because there are few cases reported that pioglitazone can cause pulmonary edema. Prominent bronchovascular markings is due to pulmonary edema? do we need to any further test ?
