Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
1) Thyroid problem: Her thyroid profile indicates that she is suffering from Hypothyroidism. Her TSH is high, T4 is low and T3 is normal. She has to take L-thyroxine (available with name of Eltroxin, Thyrox). Treatment is generally started with low dose and after treatment of 1 month, thyroid profile is repeated and dose is titrated depending on the response. If after 1 month, still TSH is high then dose of L-thyroxine is increased. Follow up for hypothyroidism is decided by TSH.
Diet: She has to avoid cauliflower, cabbage, capsicum, lettuce and broccoli.
2) Blood sugar: Her blood sugar is normal. Any symptoms regarding low blood sugar appears below 40 mg%. So there is no question regarding her blood sugar and mentioned symptoms. As such no treatment is required.
3) Headache: Mentioned symptoms are in favor of migraine. Does she has pulsating headache, nausea/ vomiting, increased headache tendency during menses, exacerbation during light exposure?
You should consult with physician/ endocrinologist and neurologist in details.
Detail neurological examination is mandatory. You should also go for prescribed investigations by neurologist such as CT/ MRI scan.
Put your query if you have.
With wishing speedy recovery,

IT INCREASES DURING MENSES.
