Question

I'm a bit confused about my thyroid test results. My TSH is 9, but my T4 levels are normal. Is this considered clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism? Do I need to start taking levothyroxine? I'm really unsure about what to do next.

A TSH level of 9 with normal T4 and T3 levels typically indicates subclinical hypothyroidism; treatment with levothyroxine (T4) may be considered, especially if symptoms are present, but the decision to start treatment should be based on a thorough evaluation by an endocrinologist or healthcare provider, considering factors like symptoms, age, and overall health
