Hi,

Symptoms mentioned are classical of hypothyroid and even TSH is high in subclinical range. In case of asymptomatic subclinical hypothyroidism, with anti TPO and anti-thyroid peroxidase being positive, symptomatic subclinical hypothyroidism appears to be the case. Please get anti-TPO and anti thyroid peroxides test. Consult a physician for treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
