My tsh result is 2.8. is this a normal level or not? my doctor wants me to take 25 ug euthyrox, but i am so scared my hair will fall out.

This is: a NORMAL TSH level in most labs....your doctor MAY have noticed an enlarged thyroid...a wishes to shrink it since it may be very early hypothyroidism ..at any rate 25 ug Euthyrox is UNLIKELY to cause hair loss! Talk with the doctor about your anxiety!!!! You need to have some clarification from him/her! Hope this helps! Dr Z
