Should I adjust my thyroid medication for elevated TSH levels?
Hello doctor,
I have been on thyroid medication for around 15 years. Since two months ago I have been taking 67.5 micrograms of Thyronorm. In a recent thyroid test, my TSH level registered at 13.2, while my T3 and T4 levels were within the normal range. In the previous test from October, my T3 and T4 were normal, but the TSH was 14.2. I haven't experienced any symptoms related to this TSH level. Should I consider increasing my medication dosage, or would it be advisable to retest the TSH? Kindly help.
Thank you.
