Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You have mildly increased TSH level.It indicates mild hypothyroid state.
You need few more investigations like free T4 level and ultrasonography of thyroid gland.
You also need clinical correlation.If there are symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism then tablet eltroxin 25 microgram can be started once daily in the morning in empty stomach.
You should consult endocrinologist.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
