Hello
Thank you for asking the question.
Your TSH is high, that means you are suffering from hypothyroidism. In hypothyroidism thyroid hormone are less synthesised by thyroid gland. So more amount of TSH releases from pituitary gland to stimulate thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormone.
So your TSH level is high, to decrease. TSH and increase thyroid hormone level you should start synthyroid as per doctor's advice
Hope this will helpful to you.
