Suggest Treatment For Hypothyroidism And Elevated Iron Levels

I am very nervous i just received labs back and my iron is slightly elevated. I also have Hypothyroid and my TSH indicated that i need a lower dose of Synthroid. My HGB was perfectly normal as was my CBC. My MD wants to run more tests. I am 44 and Iron was 158. I am ready to start my menstruation cycle

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have hypothyroidism. Your thyroid gland is not producing thyroid hormones adequately so you need external hormone replacement therapy.
You can take synthroid, thyronorm or other medicine. It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Slightly high iron level is not a cause of big worry. No treatment is required for that.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
