You have hypothyroidism. And it occurs due to the decreased secretion of the thyroid hormone in the body. Do you have any swelling in the neck?
The next step is to start you on thyroid medication, and a USG of the neck is a better choice before starting thyroid therapy.
Get your free t3 and free t4 levels checked too and visit an endocrinologist with the reports.
They might put you on thyroxine and may get your thyroid antibodies checked.
Raised TSH is sign of Hypothyroidism
Hello. How you are well.
Your TSH levels are currently high and based on your symptoms it could be due to an entity known as hypothyroidism. Although we would have to do a complete thyroid profile ( fT3, fT4 and sTSH ).
Next Steps
You should visit an endocrinologist for a thorough evaluation.
