TSH r: Tsh is produced by the pituitary under stimulatation by tshrh(which is produced by the hypothalamus)and drives the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone(t4 and t3) if the TSH is high, it usually means that that the patient is hypothyroid(low in t4/t3).

Need medication: Tsh : stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. It is made in your brain to help stimulate the thyroid gland in your neck to produce thyroid hormone. If your TSH is 8.2, it is elevated in an attempt to help your body make more from the gland in your neck. You would need thyroid hormone replacement medication to help reduce the TSH number.
