How do you FEEL?: Unless you are obviously symptomatic, wait. You may have a variant TSH that is not detected, or an interference. We will figure it out. I am glad you are taking an active role in making decisions

Thyroid ultrasound: A TSH is screening test for hypo and hyperthyroidism. A low TSH in your case is indicative of hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism. The most common cause of hyperthyroidism in young female is Graves Disease. You should definitely NOT be put on any medication (such as synthroid) and need to follow up with an endocrinologist and get a thyroid ultrasound and appropriate lab/serology tests.
