I've been told that my TSH levels are elevated. What's causing this? Should I consider getting any additional tests to better understand what's happening?

High TSH indicates hypothyroidism.. you can test for free T3 and T4 and anti thyroid antibodies.. USG neck also should be done if there is any tenderness and swelling in the neck..

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been switched from Glycomet 1 Forte to Galvus Met 50500 because he was having some gastric issues. Is Galvus Met effective in controlling diabetes? Are there any side effects we should be aware of? I'm just trying to make sure we're making the right decision for his health. Can you help shed some light on this?

Galvus Met 50500, containing vildagliptin and metformin, is a commonly prescribed oral anti-diabetic medication that can effectively control blood sugar levels; however, potential side effects include headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhea or nausea, although these are generally mild and temporary; since your father experienced gastric issues with Glycomet, monitor his response to Galvus Met and report any concerns
