Not normal: The screening test is pointing to hyperthyroidism- high thyroid level. You need to see your physician to do more lab work and possibly a thyroid uptake and scan.

Hyperthyroidism: Hi. 99.999% of the time that TSH means you're hyperthyroid; a tiny chance would be catastrophic pituitary failure (really unlikely). So, assuming you're hyperthyroid, whichever doc ordered that TSH should communicate a plan to you, probably referral to an endocrinologist. I've been to Stone Mountain...that little mountain hump is cool! Good luck with your thyroid!
