Is it dangerous that my blood test said my thyroid is a little under active? my doctor said we will retest later but i am concerned.

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped had you provided the actual result. If it was borderline abnormal, waiting a while will not do any harm. Wish you good health!
