Yes, a hypOthyroid condition can change into a hypERthyroid condition, especially if there are antibodies involved. Graves' antibodies can both stimulate and block the thyroid. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is known to cause periods of thyroid hormone dumping and even thyrotoxicosis.

What do thyroid level of 1.53 mean?

Assuming that this is the number you received from a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test, this means that you are on the hypothyroid end. While a normal TSH varies from person to person, the range that is typically followed by most doctors is .3 to 4.5. A .3 is on the hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) end and a 4.5 is on the hypothyroid (under active thyroid) end of the spectrum.

What I've read about coconut is it stimulates your thyroid, therefore, may make it more hyper. To be on the safe side avoid it if you have an overactive thyroid. However, if someone has a hypothyroid (slow so you gain weight), it may help stimulate your thyroid in order to lose weight.


Is tsh level 4.9 high?

A 4.9 for a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) test means that you are on the hypothyroid end. While a normal TSH varies from person to person, the range that is typically followed by most doctors is .3 to 4.5. A .3 is on the hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) end and a 4.5 is on the hypothyroid (under active thyroid) end of the spectrum. Talk with your doctor about any questions or concerns about the results, as well as any symptoms you are experiencing.
