TSH level increased
My TSH levels got increased from 2.7 to 5.6 in a period of 3 months. I have been using 50mg of thyroxine tablet per day. Should my dosage level be changed due to sudden increase or can I continue with the same dosage also what might be the reason for this sudden increase in TSH level. Is there any risk because of this increase

Doses need to be increased only if you have any symptoms for hypothyroidism.
Else you should continue with the same dose and repeat Thyroid function test after 6 weeks.
