What does it mean when someone, who has never taken any thyroid meds, has at times high tsh (5.6 uiu/ml) and at times normal tsh (2.6 uiu/ml)?

TSH: There must be a reason why your TSH is being measured regularly. Can you please let me know why these labs are being measured.

Signals: TSH is a signal produced by the brain for the thyroid to make more hormone. It is based on a regulation system in which thyroid levels are monitored. Depending on stress, environmental, and other factors your thyroid levels may fluctuate. This explains why the TSH levels can fluctuate with it. Try to focus more on symptoms than a lab result.
