Looks Like subclinical Hypothyroidism.
You must meet a physician for further evaluation.
Subclinical hypothyroidism is a condition characterized by slightly elevated levels of
thyroid-stimulating hormone (
TSH) and normal levels of the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). It is often considered a mild form of hypothyroidism.
In subclinical hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormones to maintain optimal functioning, but the levels are still within the reference range. The TSH levels are higher than normal, indicating that the pituitary gland is trying to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce more hormones. However, the thyroid hormone levels (T4 and T3) remain in the normal range.
Subclinical hypothyroidism may not cause obvious symptoms, or the symptoms may be mild and nonspecific. Some common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, hair loss, and mild depression. However, these symptoms can be attributed to various other conditions as well.
The management of subclinical hypothyroidism depends on several factors, including the individual's age, symptoms, and TSH levels. In some cases, especially if the TSH levels are significantly elevated or if the person is experiencing symptoms, treatment may be recommended. Treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, usually with levothyroxine, to normalize the TSH levels and improve symptoms if present.
