Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I am sure you are aware that during the 9 moths of gestation period tsh has to be maintained in the following manner: 1)1st trimester tsh 0.1 to 2.5 mu/l, 2) 2nd trimester 0.2 to 3.0 mu/l & 3) 3rd trimester 0.3 to 3.0 mu/l. Plus it is necessary to check thyroid profile during that 9 moth period once every 4 weeks. If you had followed those guide lines probably such a situation would not have been faced usually in a hypothyroid patient with pregnancy settin...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. As I understand you have hypothyroidism since 10 years and you are on 125 mcg. However, there is no mention of current t3, t4 & tsh levels. Because if hypothyroidism is under good control then all the symptoms related to that condition are in control. So if you are getting back ache and pain in legs, then there is a need to look at those values. If hypothyroidism is well controlled then one has to investigate and find out the re...more

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.

4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably i...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. The main reason for weight gain appears to be uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Ideally in a well controlled patient t3 & t4 are in normal range plus tsh is around 3 to 4 mu/l. It is clear that you have not checked tsh on regular basis, hence there is a tremendous increase. First thing is to bring tsh with in normal range by increasing the dosage of levothyroxine. Secondly there is a need to look at your dietary intake, extent of daily e...more
