Tour dad thyroid report suggest it’s in subclinical hypothyrodisum. In this condition u don’t have symptoms but report will b abnormal. So in this case also can start on treatment if anti TPO antibodies positive, neck swelling, history of heart disease or cholesterol. So get the anti TPO antibodies test done and consult.
Next Steps
Anti TPO antibodies
