My thyroid level is 6.412, which is higher than the normal range. Is it very critical? My last period was on 24th December, and I did not have periods in January. Is the thyroid level very critical? Can someone suggest medicines for this? I consulted a doctor, and he prescribed Thyronorm 50 mg. Is it fine to take? Below is my report. Can someone check and tell me about the criticality?

TSH 6.4 indicates subclinical hypothyroidism. 50 mcg is a common starting dose. Recheck TSH in 6 weeks. Helps regulate periods and conception.

My TSH (thyroid) test report shows 19.5. What medication should I take, and what precautions should I follow? I have a 5 month old baby.

My father is 76 years old and has hypothyroidism. He has been taking Thyronorm 25 mcg daily for more than a year. His recent blood test results are: T3: 90.55 ng/dL (normal range for above 50 yrs: 40 to 181 ng/dL) T4: 4.7 microgram/dL (normal range for above 60 yrs: 5 to 10.7 microgram/dL) TSH: 20.9 microIU/mL (normal range for 55 to 87 yrs: 0.5 to 8.9 microIU/mL) Should his dose be changed or kept the same? If it needs adjustment, what should the new dose be?
