High TSH levels & T3 T4 within the range
I took a complete blood test as a normal checkup routine and found my TSH levels to be high. It is 8.33 (the range given in the report is 0.25-5.5)
Although my T3 and T4 levels are within the range. I want to know is it a matter of concern and do I need to start any medication to lower the TSH levels? Or only proper diet and exercise will help?
