Your labs indicate an underactive thyroid. There is nothing to worry. It is a fairly common and treatable condition. It requires lifelong treatment with a medication called levothyroxine. I believe the brand name in India is Eltroxin. A typical starting dose is 50 to 75 mcg and then further adjustments are made based upon blood test results about 6 weeks later. Within a few months, a stable dose is arrived at. most men need about 100-125 mcg daily. As long as you take this medicine regularly for life, there are no complications as long as you periodically monitor your labs to ensure hormone levels are in the range of normal.

It would be ideal to see an endocrinologist in person to get an initial evaluation.
Sometimes, one starts out with a lower dose if the individual has heart disease or an irregular heart rhythm , or in an elderly person , or someone with osteoporosis.

Sir
I have uploaded the checklist of my symptoms and photos of my throat.
Please go through it and tell me what is the status of my diseases now. Do I have Hypothyroidism or anything else. What can I do to activate my thyroid functioning to its normal position again. Is life long medication the only solution for this or there is any other alternative ?
Sir, tell me the the best treatment I need for this Seeing the checklist of my symptoms. I'll be grateful to you for your kind attention. Thank you.

Thank you for sending the information. I reviewed it thoroughly
You clearly have hypothyroidism. There appears to be no major thyroid enlargement in the pictures. However to appreciate the structure of the thyroid a physical examination (physician's fingers) is helpful.
You have several classic symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism
and would benefit from starting treatment soon
