Hello, I went through your query, most of the labs consider normal tsh levels between 0.5 to 5 mIU/L. But yes it varies between lab where you get tested. So normal value should be considered given by lab tested. If your tsh levels are at higher levels and if you show signs of hyperthyroidism, then your doctor may consider to start you on treatment. Please consult endocrinologist.
