Your elevated TSH is consistent with underactive thyroid function but your T4 & free T3 levels are normal. How are you feeling? Do we treat you or the elevated TSH? I don't think there's a clear cut answer. What does your thyroidologist,endocrinologist or treating physician recommend? Feeling great-sit tight & repeat tests in 3 months. Feeling sluggish, increase in medication advised:retest 1 mont

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, your high TSH suggests an inadequate dose of thyroid replacement medication and you should see your doctor. Wish you good health!
