Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Your TSH is 62. It suggest hypothyroidism. You need to start thyroid supplement drugs like thyronorm, synthroid or eltroxin according to advice. It is not emergency or serious condition so you can start drug after three days. Its not a big problem.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
