My TSH level is 82.5 and I might need surgery with general anesthesia is that safe or should I be worried about my thyroid levels affecting the procedure?

A TSH level of 82.5 is significantly elevated, indicating hypothyroidism. This can increase the risk of complications during surgery and anesthesia, particularly related to heart failure, hypothermia, and electrolyte imbalances. While surgery is generally safe, it's crucial to discuss your high TSH with your surgeon and anesthesiologist to address potential risks and ensure a safe procedure.
