A member asked:

High tsh (mine 9.58 & standard is0.40-4.5), normal free t4(mine 0.9 & standard is0.8-1.8) or t3 (liothyronine) thyroid (mine2.8 & standard 2.3-4.2) can you help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any symptoms?: The elevated TSH indicates that your pituitary gland feels that your thyroid level is a little low (despite your thyroid levels being in the normal range for a population of people). This is subclinical hypothyroidism. If you have no symptoms, it is ok to recheck levels in a few months to see if they are better/worse. If you have symptoms of low thyroid, it would be reasonable to start thyroid.
