Subclinical thyroid: Sub-clinical hypothyroidism is a grey area..Some start low dose synthroid (thyroxine) . It may have beneficial effects on lipids and cardiac function. May consider repeating TSH in 6 weeks and if again low then starting, check thyroid antibodies. TSH may wax and wane between abn and normal over months . f/u w/doc http://www.aafp.org/afp/1998/0215/p776.html
