A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take levothyroxine: Hi. You may want to repeat the labs for confirmation and check thyroid autoantibodies for etiology, but yes, those labs taken at face value suggest you should be taking levothyroxine. It is possible, however, that your symptoms are not caused by this mild hypothyroidism. Only by taking l-thyroxine and normalizing your TSH for a few months will you know. Good luck!
