Please take a look at my blood report. My TSH level is high, but T3 and T4 are within the normal range. I have also been experiencing hair loss.

A high TSH with normal T3 and T4 indicates subclinical hypothyroidism. Hair fall is a common symptom. Lifestyle changes and, in some cases, low dose thyroxine may be recommended if TSH continues to rise or symptoms worsen. Monitor every 3 to 6 months.

I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last four years. I take Eltroxine 50 mcg every morning, but in my blood test report which came yesterday, TSH is 7.4. How can I keep my thyroid normal? I am a working female and got married last year.
