View allI'm 24 next month and I'm really hoping to add a few inches to my height. I've heard growth hormones might help, but I'm not sure how to naturally increase them.

I recently got my TSH test results back, and it came out as 0.02. I'm kind of worried about it. Could you guide me on what steps I should take next and explain what this might mean for my thyroid health?
Hi, a TSH level of 0.02 is very low and suggests hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. I recommend consulting your doctor or an endocrinologist for further evaluation, including free T3, T4, and antibody tests, to identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
