This is because thyroid problems get detected slowly and it may even take years for the symptoms to reappear

One requires a thyroid replacement pill so that thyroid functions are in place. Do not take the pill by yourself contact an endocrinologist who will help you determine the dose.
Most labs say that a normal serum TSH level is somewhere between 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L, and that a TSH level of 10 mIU/L or higher is indicative of hypothyroidism
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
Consult an expert, preferably an endocrinologist
