What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 17 Aug 2016

Question: This is a query to Doctor XXXXXXX Gomez. I had submitted you some reports that pointed out I have a hyper throidism. You had thereby asked me for TC Uptake scan. Please find attached.

Answered by Dr. Ramesh Gomez (27 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Tc uptake scan is consistent with acute painless thyroiditis

Detailed Answer:
hello XXXXXXX
thanks for uploading the tc uptake scan picture.
Usually acute painless thyroiditis do improve by itself.
You need not take neomercazole
continue to take propranolol 20 mg TDS for 2 months
Repeat your blood tests after 2 months (thyroid function test)
Your present illness is likely to get cured by itself in 6 months time
Feel free to contact
Thanks

Thanks Doc. As you have mentioned is it fine if I wish not to take the tablets and wait for it to get cured by itself?

Brief Answer:
hi

Detailed Answer:
we give medications in your case to avoid symptoms... thats all. for 2 months only..
but if you thin you dont have any tremor, palpitation, anxiety, you van go ahead without any medications
repeat your thyroid function tests after 3 months--you will see its spontaenously walking the road to recovery
Thanks and keep us informed
regards
