Suggest Treatment For Fluctuations In TSH Levels After In Medicine Dosage
For 14 years I have been on 125 mcg to 137 mcg except when I was pregnant when they put me on 112 mcg. I lost my job and had a baby so I took the 112 mcg for about 6 months and then had to get my thyroid checked and the doctor said they only see thyroid levels that low about every 5 years and that I was at risk of heart failure. He upped my dosage immediately and I got leveled out. Then I went to a knew doctor upon moving and my TSH was 0.017. They said normal was 0.424 and would need 2.5? Anyway, he changed my dosage to 88 mcg and within 3 weeks I was severely tired and moody. Would the 88 mcg be correct for that thyroid level?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, dose of medicine for the thyroid disease need to be adjusted according to the test result and test need to be done in ideal way according to the clinical condition and symptoms if this is being done like this then it give very good results, hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.
