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.
