A member asked:
Will a tsh lower without meds?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No.: Tsh is high in hypothyroid patients and is lowered by taken thyroid hormone. Rarely TSH is high because it is produced by a pituitary gland tumor.

Possible: Depending on the situation, if someone is sick and there TSH elevates indicating hypothyroidism it will normalize once the illness is resolved given that there are no other reasons such as medicines or other illness which caused the change.
