What Does High TSH Level Indicate?
Question: I am having normal T3 and T4 level But elevated TSH ( 19.36 ). Doctor advised me to have thyrowel . Should I continue?
Brief Answer:
primary hypothyroidism.
Detailed Answer:
Dear ma'm, Hi! TSH > 5 is considered hypothyroidism irrespective of T3 or T4 suppressed or normal. so the diagnosis is clear. you must start with thyroxine replacement. dose according to your weight. thyrowel is a multivitamin with tyrosine, it does help thyroid to work better but in cases where the reports are normal and patient is symptomatic, or in sub clinical case. thyrowel may be continued but you require more of thyroxine replacement. after 6 weeks of therapy repeat the tests and let us know how you are doing. regards!
