A member asked:

My tsh level has been consistently rising from 1 to 6.43 over 3 years but my t4 level is 15. can this be causing my hypothyroid symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypothyroid: A TSH of 6 would typically represent hypothyroidism. The job of a rising TSH is to keep thyroid hormones as close to normal as possible.
