TSH of 6.5 is mildly elevated and hair fall is a very common symptom of this. Since your weight and periods are normal, this looks like subclinical hypothyroidism. Low-dose thyroxine (around 25-50 mcg) is usually recommended when TSH is above 5 with symptoms. Take it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Also get your Free T4 and anti-TPO antibodies checked once to understand the cause. Recheck TSH after 6-8 weeks of starting medication.

Feel free to consult me on Practo for a proper prescription and thyroid management plan.

If TSH alone is high , you don't need any medicine at this time,as your TSH is less than 10.However medicine is required if you are planning for a pregnancy,or significant symptoms present.

No need to worry TSH 6.5 with hair fall is common and very manageable👍 responds well to proper treatment, and hair fall usually improves once levels are corrected.
Book a quick consultation with me now I’ll review your full report and give you the right dose and plan for fast relief. 😊

Hi., I can understand your concern.
Kindly share image of the reports.
Based on all three tsh, t3 and t4 levels, we can plan for medicine.
Avoid processed foods.

Diagnosing only on the basis of TSH and starting on medications can be a disaster.

Need to know complete thyroid report
Also hair loss can be coz of many reasons like low iron, low vit d or low vit b 12
So get those checked as well
Is this thyroid your first thyroid report then we can wait for 3-6 months and repeat the labs and see how it goes
