I recently got my thyroid checked for the first time. My report shows T4 slightly higher than the reference range by 0.1. Should I consult a doctor for this?

A slight increase in T4 may not be significant if TSH is normal. This could be temporary or due to lab variation. If no symptoms like palpitations, weight loss, or anxiety, no need to worry yet.
