What Does A TSH Level Of 13.8 Indicate?
My blood tests just came back with a TSH of 13.8. I have no symptoms, in fact most of my symptoms other than weight (I ve always been underweight) look more like hypothyroid (fatigue, always cold, etc.). I do take kelp and spirulina daily. I am 63 years old. What does this mean?

HI
Welcome to H C M
T S H report(Normal 0.4 to 4.6umU/ml ) is in favor of Hypothyroidism.
If you are not satisfied I advise to repeat
Thyroid Profile (F T 3, F T4,T S H hs from another reliable Lab
T P O anti bodies will confirm the diagnosis
You can take Spirulina if you wish
Let us discus again with reports
Take care
