A member asked:

Would tsh level of 0.17 be concerning. what point should i worry about it or ask for repeat test? please help very worried about it. thank you in advance for your expertise?

We would like to know the results of the rest of your thyroid panel. If they are higher than normal, then you have hyperthyroidism ( an overactive thyroid). If they are normal, you have sub clinical hyperthyroidism, meaning that you have impending hyperthyroidism. I recommend consulting an endocrinologist to sort this out& advise you about testing,treatment and followup.
