Suggest Remedies For Raised TSH Level
Hello doctor. I am 27 years old female and yesterday I went for thyroid test my T3 and T4 are normal but my TSH is slightly higher than the range. I was on 11 hours fasting my TSH is 4.940 and range is 0.550 - 4.740. I have no such symptoms of thyroid but ya very rare constipation. I don't want to go for medicines as it has lot of side effects. I am doing yoga and exercises daily. Please help me as soon as possible.

Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern and understood your query.
I do not think that constipation is due to this slightly elevated TSH.
But, i can not say that yoga will correct it.
You may start a low dose of levothyroxine (25 mcg) and try to keep normal TSH levels, especially if you try to conceive.
Hope i have been helpful.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
