What Causes Chronic Insomnia While Diagnosed With An Elevated TSH Level In Blood?
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
Sorry to note your symptoms. They are bothersome enough for you to seek direct medical care from a physician, who will have the opportunity to examine you in-person.
An elevated TSH can cause excessive bleeding during menstrual cycles. However, this is generally seen when the TSH is quit high particularly when the Free or Total T4 and Total T3 are low. With milder degrees of TSH elevation, it is unlikely to occur.
Your MCV and MCHC can be affected by a thyroid problem and the blood loss due to prolonged periods.
When I see someone like you in my practice, I typically order the following blood tests in addition to a detailed physical examination:
CBC
Electrolytes
Calcium
HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin = your 3 month glucose average)
Liver function tests
Kidney function tests
TSH
Free T4
anti TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase) antibodies
anti Thyroglobulin antibodies
25 hydroxy Vitamin D
