Hello,

Thanks for your query on Lybrate

"As" per your clinical history is concerned your TSH level is below 10 so you do not need any medications at all so follow like this-

Some diet suggestions for hypothyroidism include:

1)Take foods high in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids such as leafy green vegetables, salmon, nuts, seeds, and shrimp etc.

2)Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Water and green tea can be sipped on in between meals to prevent dehydration.

3)Iodine rich foods such as seaweed and algae should be eaten regularly.

4)Foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, soy, beans, and spinach can actually slow down the functioning of the thyroid so they should be eaten in small quantities.

5)Avoid artificial sweeteners, caffeine, dairy, and alcohol.

6)Try to eat a healthy balanced meal that provides you with all the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals required to function optimally. Add a multivitamin caps [Rejuvit plus]once a day at bedtime. In addition to this add at least an hour of exercise thrice a week and you can boost your metabolism and reduce symptoms

Hope that helps

Check your TSH after one month

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
TSH 6.99 mU/L is showing subclinial hypothyroidism. That does not need any treatment. No drugs are required. Plus it is unlikely to affect your test. It is not a disease. Thanks.
