Fluctuating tsh levels?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Depends: Are you on thyroid replacement currently? Tsh can fluctuate if you are on the wrong kind of thyroid replacement, or you are not taking it regularly, or lab misinterpretation...Work closely with your doc or see a thyroid specialist if this continues to be a problem.

Repeat profile test: Initially , repeat value, add free T4 and recommend use of branded synthroid (thyroxine) as sometimes variabilty with generics could cause TSH fluctuations.
