A member asked:
61yo/fem diagnosed hypothyroid, only symptoms falling hair, bloatg and slightly high ldl cholestrol, is it okay if i never start levo? i feel alright

Cannot say: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, the symptoms get progressively worse. There isn't that much of a consequence of waiting until the symptoms of hypothyroidism get worse and delaying treatment. Weight gain is one of the only progressive problems with not treating immediately.
