HI.
A very good question.
I would like to know the levels of T3 and T4.
If you do not have any symptoms , no need to take any medicines for this TSH levels.
Repeat the tests of Free-T3 , Free-T4 ans TSH on an empty stomach after one month to see that you are not suffering from Hypothyroidism.
Till them relax and enjoy gracefully.
