Hypothyroidism, TSH 26
Hello, my TsH levels are 26 currently. I have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism 2 yrs back.
Then it was 7, I used homeopathy and then stopped which led to an increase of 14, ,after which I have taken 25 mg thyronorm and continued taking it for 6 months .
Then the level got reduced to 11. But after that again for 6 months I used the same dosage and suddenly my TSH levels shot up to 26 which left me in shock.
Should I worry about the cardiovascular risks of hypothyroidism for these TSH levels and what's the power of the tablet and treatment process I should prefer for these levels?

High TSH level could be due to inadequate thyroxine dose.Thyroid hormone certainly plays a major role in the body system.Thyroxine is replacement hormone which needs to be taken throughout.The dose is calculated on your bodyweight and TSH level as well ,and is adjusted accordingly , under the supervision of your doctor.

You have explained your situation in a very lucid manner.
To cut the story short, please adjust your dose of Thyronorm under the supervision of a General Physician. You should do periodic testing of TSH.
And please stick to one System of Medicine, whether Homeopathy or AYUSH or Modern Medicine.
