Hi
Tsh of 6.2 is called subclinical hypothyroidism or borderline disease.. in case of Tsh between 4 to 10 we don’t directly give treatment. We need to confirm by doing a test called TPO antibodies.. if it comes positive only we give treatment to people with tsh between 4 to 10. And also we need to chek whether you have any thyroid swelling or not
So please consult Endocrinologist
Next Steps
TPO antibodies and Endocrine consultation
