Thanks for posting your query.
1) Thyroid problem: Her thyroid profile indicates that she is suffering from Hypothyroidism. Her TSH is high, T4 is low and T3 is normal. She has to take L-thyroxine (available with name of Eltroxin, Thyrox). Treatment is generally started with low dose and after treatment of 1 month, thyroid profile is repeated and dose is titrated depending on the response. If after 1 month, still TSH is high then dose of L-thyroxine is increased. Follow up for hypothyroidism is decided by TSH.
