High TSH (DTH likely TSH) indicates underactive thyroid. Medication dose may need titration. Please take a TSH + Free T4 immediately.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

I am on medication with Thyronorm 88 mg, and my recent blood report shows TSH level 14.02. Should I change my dose, and if yes, should I reduce or increase it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have recently undergone a thyroid test. My TSH and T3 are within the normal range, and T4 is also normal but on the higher side. Is this a cause for concern? I am attaching the lab report for your reference.

What is the normal range for T4 blood test?
