5.69 TSH and No Symptoms (Prefer not to take meds)
Hello, I posted on here about a year ago. To give everyone a little information, I am a very active 26 year old and my doctor noticed last year that my Thyroid was borderline low. I had a TSH level of 5.7. She requested me to get retested and I came back at 7. She wanted me to go on medication, but I decided not to because I have no symptoms and feel fine. I just didn
i wouldnt do anything if i felt fine. You can ALWAYS start meds if you feel like you'd have to. so i wouldnt rush with em now, especially if you feel normal.
Thank you for help. That makes me feel alot better. I will keep an eye on my levels and if any symptoms occur I will reconsider. Thanks again.
