Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your TSH value is high. So it is suggestive of hypothyroidism. You were diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in past. So you have to repeat your thyroid profile tests because many non thyroid illness as well can affect TSH values.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
