In my recent thyroid report, my T3 and T4 levels are within the permissible range, but my TSH level is very high at 12.43. I am feeling very tense. Could you please let me know if this is dangerous or not?

High TSH usually means hypothyroidism. It is treatable with thyroid medication. It is not dangerous if managed early. Consult your doctor for starting treatment.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

Greetings Sir/Madam, My T3 and T4 levels appear to be normal, but my TSH level is high. What could this indicate? I have attached my thyroid test report.

I have been suffering from thyroid issues for the past 6 months. Recently, I was also diagnosed with PCOD, and I have gained significant weight. I am trying to conceive and would like guidance on how to manage these problems so that I can improve my chances of pregnancy

I took a thyroid test for the first time. My results are: T3: 120 T4: 9.2 TSH: 4.16 The report comments mention suggesting thyronormalcy. Are these values within the normal range? If not, what treatment or steps should I consider? I have attached my report for reference.
