Should I Take Medicine For Thyroid Problem Lifelong ?

Hi.... My TSH was 8 before starting the dose and i had BP (145/90) and i skipped my periods. After taking thyronorum 25 for 3 mths it came to 6.52 and then DR. increased the dose to 50 and the TSH was 0.08. Then again he reduced the dose to 25mcg and it shoot up to 14.

Welcome to HCM.

According to your TSH level you are hypothyroid,means deficiency of thyroid hormone.

Due to some reason your thyroid gland is not producing this hormone which is important for body.So you have to take this for life time.Also go for regular check up of TSH level.There is no any remarkable side effect of thyronorm.

You can ask your treating doctor.
