TSH also known as thyroid stimulating hormone is a thyroid regulation hormone. Unless T3 and T4 values are below normal you won't have any symptoms of hypothyroidism. Usually hypothyroidism is a progressive condition and frequent dose changes in medications are required. You may need to take higher dosage of medication now
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or endocrinologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
