TSH high or low
Hello I'm male 25. I've done a TSH test recently. My results for TSH is 5.445. is it normal. I read so many articles online that above 4.049 it's not normal and the patients need to take medicines life long or have surgery. I don't want to do either of them. Is it possible to decrease the TSH below 4 with traditional medicines which i can stop after it drops to 4. Thank you

Have you done an isolated TSH or the entire Thyroid profile? It is advisable to get T3, T4 tested along with TSH too. Also Reference range values vary from Lab to Lab. So kindly share the report.
