Tsh is 17. Hypothyroidism since last 2 years. How to bring it to normal level. Taking 100mg electrocin every day. Pls suggest.

With a TSH level of 17, your hypothyroidism treatment needs adjustment. Here's a step-by-step plan: *Medication Adjustment* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Inform your doctor about your current TSH level and medication (100mg Electrocin). 2. *Dose increase*: Your doctor may increase your levothyroxine (T4) dosage to achieve normal TSH levels. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Diet*: Ensure adequate iodine intake through foods like seafood, dairy, and iodized salt. 2. *Selenium-rich foods*: Include selenium-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and fish to support thyroid function. 3. *Regular exercise*: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, to improve overall health. 4. *Stress management*: Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Regular TSH tests*: Schedule follow-up TSH tests every 6-8 weeks to monitor treatment progress. 2. *Adjust medication as needed*: Work with your doctor to adjust your medication dosage based on TSH test
