My TSH is 11.56 as per my report today. I am feeling tired all the time and have body heaviness and no interest in doing any work. Are any other tests required before going to the doctor? Kindly suggest.

A TSH of 11.56 suggests hypothyroidism. The symptoms you are feeling are typical. You should see a doctor soon. A few more tests may help as Free T3, Free T4, and Anti TPO antibodies, to guide proper treatment.

Take a THYROID PROFILE FREE (FT3, FT4, TSH) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test
