I'm 24 years old. I've been struggling with an unstable thyroid condition. When I have tested my thyroid profile in the year 2014 tsh was on the (5.8 hypothyroidism) and I have taken medicine (thyronorm 12.5 mcg) for 1 year (approx.) with the doctor's advise. While I was in the medication tsh level was normal and after that, I have stopped taking the medicine. In the year 2016, i?ve got my thyroid test done and the tsh level was on the lower side (0.03 hyperthyroidism). I have consulted the doctor and advised me to reduce my weight (as I was overweight) and asked me to change my diet plan and he did not suggest any medicine. Later I have not taken care of myself and did not take any medicine for 2 years. In the year 2018, I have got my test done and this time tsh again went to the higher side (8.2) so I have consulted the doctor and he has advised me to use thyronorm 25 mcg for 1 month so I have I have used it for one month and got my tsh test done and this time tsh level was normal. Doctor asked me to continue the same medicine for the next 2 months and I have used the medicine for 2 months and got the test done after 2 months and this time tsh level went to 0.01. I consulted the doctor and asked me to stop using the medicine and to wait for 1 and a half month. After one and a half month (feb-2019), I have done the test again but still tsh level in 0.01. Please suggest to me what I have to do and explain to me about my health condition. As my doctor suggested me to have a thyroid scan and to use medicine for hyperthyroidism later the scan results. I've been doing the gym, workouts and proper diet and I have lost about 20 kgs in 4 months and now bmi is at the correct level.

Repeated testing of tsh is not needed and the reading of 0.01 need not create any panic and treatment is the reason for reduction of tsh .which is expected from the treatment and is normal. However it will be fine to get advice from an endocrinologist or physician in your area.
