Hello doctor, For the past six months, I was severely fatigued and had unstable mood swings. At my regular check up, I found out my T4 levels are borderline. I think T3 is normal, but not optimal. Here are the levels: TSH 1.73 (0.45 to 4.5) T3 2.7 (1.4 to 4.4) T4 0.83 (0.8 to 1.8) My general physician asked me to take Eltroxin 25 mg whereas my endocrinologist feels that my reports are normal. Since we are planning for a baby this year, I am worried as the physician said it might affect the pregnancy, if I do not take the medicines. And, my cholesterol levels are a little elevated too. Vitamin D is at 19 which is on the lower side. My weight has increased by four to five kg. Are these correlated? Should I take the medicine or not? Please help.
