A TSH over 10 mIU/L has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure, which is why you' will probably want to seek treatment if your TSH is close to (but still under) that upper limit

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a IGF-1 Test (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) Test or Take a ACID FAST BACILLI (AFB) STAIN Test
