What Causes Elevated TSH Levels?

sir, Last two years i come to know that my throid TSH level is more than 10 then I continued 100mcg/day. Level has come down so I stopped for 2 months, again it increased to 60 TSH level then again I continued the same. afterwards I got TSH level in minus then I have taken 25mcg thyronorm but that tablet has not set for me again TSH level increased. Again I continued 100mcg thyroxine. now my thyroid is T3 2.12, T4 1.07 and TSH(US) 0.58. now what i have to do. please help me doctor.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You have not taken thyronorm properly as per history

According to TSH level dosage of thyronorm adjusted

This time your TSH very low suggesting secondary hyperthyroidism by thyronorm excess dose

At every three month initially TSH level should be monitored regularly and dose of thyronorm adjusted

So now you have to temporary stop thyronorm use and after that when your TSH level within limit low dose maintainance therapy continued

Hope this will help

Consult endocrinologist or nearby physician for examination and do regular follow up for that....

Take care
