Hi, My thyroid test shows a TSH level of 4.52 microIU/mL, and it is marked as high in my report. Does this require medication, or is it something that can be monitored?

TSH is borderline high. If you have symptoms or trying to conceive, treatment may be started. Check T3, T4.

Question

I am taking Thyronorm 75 mg for thyroid. In my current thyroid blood report, T3 is 86 ng/dl, T4 is 6 ng/dl, and TSH is 10.65 nIU/ml. My TSH is high. What should I do to control TSH, and do I need to increase my tablet from 75 mg to 100 mg? I am also very lean. Is this due to thyroid? Please suggest how I can gain some weight?
