Brief Answer:
You have hypothyroidism and need a thyroid hormone supplement!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

i am so sorry to hear about this abnormal finding on your thyroid tests. I have reviewed the attached wellness report and have taken particular note of the abnormal thyroid and blood pressure values.

1. The thyroid is under functioning and requires medications to supplement the deficit. I will recommend thyroxine for this. However, follow this upp with an endocrinologist for best results.

2. I will like that the blood pressure value be controlled. For now, reduce salt intake, drink more fluids, fruits, vegetables and exercise often. Also, your weight is more than desired for your height and could be a contributing factor to this increased blood pressure.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
