My tsh is high, what can i do to lower it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid hormone: An elevated TSH typically means that the thyroid level is low. However, it is important to check the thyroid level (free t4) to see how low. Most people with a persistently high TSH level will require taking thyroid hormone to bring it down to normal.
