Early hypothyroidism: Usually due to hashimoto's thyroiditis in developed countries. Easily treated with thyroid hormone supplement. Insomnia is not usually a symptom but rather somnolence. Caution here because rarely an elevated TSH with symptoms of overactive thyroid, tremor, heart racing, weight loss would indicate the presence of a TSH producing pituitary adenoma. Sgpt can be elevated from regular alcohol drinking.
