Hello,

Based on the TSH level you are suffering from Hypothyroidism.

So you need be on Thyroxin hormone for life long to maintain good thyroid function and interm good health.

Vitamin B12 and D are vital to good health and has to be supplemented adequately.

Consult a Endocrinologist.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Raised TSH level is due to hypothyroidism, as your values are more than that needs to be treated with thyroxine supplementation.
Take iodized salt in your diet.

Vitamin D deficiency could be due to:
Inadequate exposure to sun light
Inadequate intake.
liver or kidney problems.

In your case as Vt D level is less than 20, you need vit D suppliments

Consult your endocrinologist for examination and dose adjustment of your medications.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take
care.

Regards
Dr. Vidya
