F/u with your Dr: Asymptomatic patients with an elevated TSH, but normal thyroxine levels, are referred to as having Subacute or Subclinical hypothyroidism. There are varying recs as to whether they should be treated, especially if no symptoms. I suggest f/u with your Dr to repeat tests in 3-6 months with thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO), to determine if persistent and risk for developing overt hypothyroidism.
