tsh 1.81

by bdg358, Apr 26, 2008 04:34PM
Just had my blood work at the health expo. it was 1.81 . I am now on 150 mcg synthroid. however lately I have been feeling very tired , not concentrating , etc. just like it was before when my tsh was high. Should I ask my doctor to increase my synthroid and retest in two months or is my tsh to low. thanks

Is this 150 an increase? Symptom wise you are still experiencing hypo thyroid - but your labs show euthryoid. If this is a med increase then I would stay put until your labs are redone.

If this is not a med increase - but a different dosage than what you were on. I would wait two weeks and if the symptoms do not seems to get better call and get labs ran early.

It hard to say what to do - without knowing when the last Synthroid change and labs were done. I hope what I said so far helps.
