Question 2

what happens when thyroid stimulating hormone goes up?

Accepted Answer

TSH increase: Thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH) is released by the pituitary gland in response to the amount of thyroid hormone sensed in the blood.  If the blood level of thyroid hormone is low then the pituitary increases the amount of TSH into the blood in order to get the thyroid to release more thyroid hormone.  Therefore a rising or increasing TSH may indicated a failing or under functioning thyroid.

Question 3

what are symptoms of low levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid: Cant tell without total thyroid hormone levels. Tsh being low usually implies hyperthyroid ism  which may be sub-clinical or asymptomatic. It can cause fast heart rate, skipped beats, shakiness, tremor, weight loss, anxiety, mood swings, irregular menses, sweating, heat intolerance.

Both normal: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, the results for both A1c and TSH are normal.

Question 7

where is the thyroid-stimulating hormone produced?

Accepted Answer

Pituitary Gland: Tsh (thyroid stimulating hormone) is made in the pituitary gland, which lies just below the brain.  The brain and pituitary monitor circulating levels of thyroid hormone.  If thyroid levels are low, the pituitary releases higher levels of TSH to get the thyroid gland to make more thyroid hormone.  If thyroid levels are high, lower levels of TSH provide less stimulation to the thyroid.

Question 8

what should not eat thyroid stimulating hormone is very high?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid: If your TSH is very high, you likely have hypothyroidism.  Changing your diet will not affect your thyroid level, unless you are consuming an excess amount of iodine (excess iodine typically makes thyroid levels lower in the us).

Question 9

thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh) result is 25.09. is that considered dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal: Not dangerous, but definitely abnormal and needs to be treated with brand name T4 replacement until you levels have been returned to normal. You doctor can help you out with this, but it will take months until you are better, and will need treatment life long. Don't delay any further..

Question 10

how does thyroid stimulating hormone affect sexual reproduction?

Accepted Answer

Many Ways: Thyroid hormone can have many effects on reproduction. When the thyroid is too high or too low you may not ovulate. Even if you do ovulate the quality of ovulation may be impaired. Thyroid hormone can affect your milk hormone (prolactin) and cause that to be too high which can have similar effects.
