With t3 135, t4 8.5,tsh 3.46 values should I continue taking thyronorm 25? I was been suggested this medicine by one doctor few years back due to sudden weight gains. Weight is more compared to that time when doctor had prescribed this medicine. Later I had discontinued it as another doctor asked me to saying I have no thyroid problem. I am still facing weight gain even after proper dieting and proper exercises. Please suggest on above. Thanks.

Continue taking medicine becaus� your thyroid functions are normal and that is due to medicine.

Dear lybrate-user, it looks like your weight problem is not related to any thyroid dysfunction. If your tsh is 3.6 after stopping thyronorm, then you do not need the tablet. I suggest that you go on a paleo diet and exercise 1 hour per day. Monitor your weight once a month. The ideal weight for your height of about 164 cm (5'4") would be about 60-65 kg. You can find details on vegetarian or non-vegetarian paleo diet on the internet or alternatively you can consult a dietitian for the same professor m s seshadri.
