Hello XXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM
As we discussed earlier,caffeine may cause alteration of TSH level.
So,you should go for repeat TSH.Most probably you will require to take thyroxine tablet 25 microgram.
Your lipid profile is absolutely fine.There is nothing to be worried about.
Newer study reveals that there is no alteration in lipid profile results even if tests are done after food intake.
Random glucose level is also normal.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
