Thyroid of 9.79
I have TSH 9.79. Should I have to start medicine for that. My doctor told me that unless it is above 10 we don't recommend medicine. She told me to change my diet and again be tested after one month. Should I follow what he is saying or change doctor? As far as I know 9.79 is very much high TSH.

Definitely higher than normal
But if there are no symptoms or planning pregnancy then TSH below 10 is not treated with Thyroxine
Next Steps
Check TSH and anti TPO antibodies after 1 month
