My tsh is 8.4 - my pcp intends to rx hormone replacement - how long before my hoarseness goes away once i start with hormone supplement?

4-6 weeks: Hormone replacement should correct hormone levels quickly. Hoarseness may take longer to resolve. If hoarseness is due to enlarged thyroid pressing on voicebox, surgery might be needed to improve hoarseness. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

I was diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism. My TSH was 8.3 and I had classic hypothyroidism symptoms. Didnt take replacement therapy because my TSH was lower than 10. Months later TSH was 3.3 and I was still having symptoms. Why was it low?
