Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. The normal range w.r.t. TSH level is 0.4 - 4.0 mIU/L [but may vary from laboratory to laboratory] and going by the values [low TSH and normal T3] which are provided you are suffering from subclinical hyperthyroidism [SCH] and instead of your attending doctor, the case should be screened preferably by an Endocrinologist.

2. recent studies have suggested that if not treated promptly SCH may accelerate the development of osteoporosis, particularly in postmenopausal women. [check with Bone mineral density [BMD]

3. you need proper counseling to avoid future confusion so that you can complete proper follow-ups and treatment.
