Dear Patient,
Your recent
TSH level of 7.5 µIU/mL indicates subclinical hypothyroidism, suggesting that your
thyroid is underactive. Abruptly discontinuing your thyroid medication for over 15 days has likely contributed to this elevation. It's essential to understand that stopping thyroid medication without medical supervision can lead to a recurrence of hypothyroid symptoms.
