TSH Test in Agra - Price & Details

TSH levels may be high or low even when your thyroid gland is healthy. Generally, different hormones and glands in your endocrine system work together to carefully control the level of TSH in your bloodstream through a feedback loop. When your thyroid gland is making excessive thyroid hormone, it means that the TSH is very low. You need to conduct the test on time with the help of PharmEasy to understand if there's an actual issue in your thyroid gland. 

The symptoms of low TSH levels are as follows: 

• Rapid heartbeat
• Weight loss although there's an increased appetite
• Feeling shaky or anxious
• Vision changes and/or bulging eyes.
• Swelling on your neck 
• Irregularities in the menstrual cycle 

The PharmEasy TSH test package consists of one test to measure the TSH levels in your bloodstream. You can visit the PharmEasy website or app to book a home collection appointment conveniently.

As mentioned above, the TSH level shouldn't be too much or too less. Both conditions can prove to be harmful in various ways. When your thyroid gland is releasing too much hormone, the situation is referred to as hyperthyroidism. Some of the common symptoms of this issue are weight loss, rapid or irregular heartbeat, shaky hands or muscle weakness, sweating etc. 

When the gland is releasing less hormone, it is referred to as hypothyroidism. The common symptoms of this concern are fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, heavy or irregular menstrual periods etc. 

If you're suffering from any of these symptoms, it becomes necessary to conduct a TSH test in Agra. PharmEasy is always there to help you to conduct the test. There might be other tests required at the same point in time and PharmEasy will be ready to perform them all.

Your healthcare provider will let you know if there is any preparation required. If we talk about the TSH blood test specifically, there's no need to prepare. But if there are other blood tests required too, you might have to fast for several hours before the test. You must contact the healthcare provider beforehand to keep any confusion at bay. 

During TSH test

An experienced phlebotomist will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. A vein finder is used to accurately locate the blood vein. Your blood will be collected in a small and sterile collection tube. It is made sure that proper hygiene is maintained throughout the test to avoid any contamination.
