Hi i am suresh, recently i went to clinick with my wife, she is so weak,(her age is 25, weight is 55kg), the doctor tested bload test, urine test, and also thyroid test.
her thyroid test result is "T3 is 124.70" and "T4 is 9.9" and "TSH is 5.39". doctor said she have mild thyroid, and doctor write this medicine "Thyrox 25mg". my wife used this medicine last 4 days , but she have headache by using that medicine.

I'm sorry, I'm not online all the time...

Were those results before she started taking the medication?

Those tests are for Total T4 and Total T3; can you get the Free T4 and Free T3 tests done?  The Total T4 and Total T3 tests are obsolete and really don't tell us much...

Your wife's T4 is at 71% of the range and her T3 is only at 41%... this would, typically, indicate a problem with conversion of T4 to T3...

What are the reference ranges for the T3 and T4?  Reference ranges vary from lab to lab and must come from her own report for comparison.  Also, does the lab report say whether or not they are "Free" T3 and "Free" T4 or just T3 and T4?  There's a difference.

Thyroxine is prescribed for hypothyroidism.  25 mcg is a very small dosage, but the headaches could be caused because your wife isn't used to having the hormones in her body.  It takes 4-6 weeks for the medication to build to full potential and it's not unusual for one to feel worse before they feel better.

Once you've listed the reference ranges for the T3 and T4, we'll be able to tell you more.

What symptoms does your wife have, besides the headache?
