A member asked:
Is tsh level of 4.5 that high to worry about ? if so what tests or treatments i shall consider with my doc ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ask your doctor for a free T4 and thyroid antibodies. If TSH is high, free T4 is low or if the thyroid antibodies are positive, talk to the doctor about thyroid replacement pill.
