I  am of  70 years. I  have  tremendous  weakness. I  cant  even  feel  like  walking  and  feel  that  I  am  sinking. I have  high  BP  &  Sugar  (in control with  Med)  and  TSh = 12.5. I  have  not  yet  started  taking  medicine  for  TSH. Please  advise.
Hi, Welcome. This is Chat Doctor. Persistent weakness could be because of thyroid & you definitely need medicine for it. For such patients we Start with 12.5mcg of Thyroxine & than increase it to 25mcg after a week. Continue following up with your physician so that dose could be increased further. Also test your It D3 level to see for any deficiency & treatment accordingly. Come back if you need any more help. Thanks
