Brief Answer:
re-check the thyroid profile

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

It seems that you will need a higher dose of thyronorm.

Anything can be suggested only after confirming the report. Thus I will suggest that you get the thyroid profile done again at a different laboratory. Also let me know if you are experiencing any symptoms.

Please get all the three parameters checked i.e. TSH, T3 and T4. Upload the reports for me to view.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Your symptoms not suggestive of low thyroid

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You are quite healthy and your symptoms are not suggestive of low thyroid. It may be called as sub-clinical.

This august report suggests that you need to increase the dose to 50 mcg and then repeat the test in 1 month.

But why unnecessarily increase the dose. Double checking should be done first. I would suggest that you get the test done again from the Columbia-asia lab. If its raised in that also then increase the dose under guidance of your doctor.
