Hi My recommendations is not to take any medication at this point of time Check the TSH after 1 month In case it is above 5 with symptoms of weight gain lethargy then we can start with the dosage of medication Otherwise we can wait for initiation of treatment
Next Steps
Check TSH after a month and compare and decide More then 10 start with treatment 5 to 10 with symptoms start treatment No symptoms no treatment Less then 5 no treatment
