Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for your information.
I have gone through your reports.
Your TSH level is elevated. Since you have not mentioned any current medication in your history I guess you are not taking any medication for thyroid. I can see your test done in last year.
I suggest you repeat your tests. If you still have high TSH then you need anti thyroid medication.
High TSH level can cause muscle fatigue, heat intolerance, weakness.
I also suggest you get vitamin D and Vitamin B12 blood tests done.
Yes, your work and travelling can cause tiredness.
Drink plenty of water.
Eat health fruits and vegetables.
Eat small amount of food frequently which gives you energy.
Restrict salt intake.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
