A member asked:
My tsh came back mildly elevated at 5.01. 4 months ago it was 4.54. do i have a thyroid problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can check: Numbers are just numbers, with little meaning unless one can see the big picture. A TSH result above 3 can mean thyroid problems if a person is having symptoms of low thyroid. A TSH level above 4 means that situation is even more likely. However, there are some people who are normal with a TSH level up there. One's primary care doctor can evaluate the whole picture to see if treatment is needed.
