Could this be a mistake or is it possible to have no symptoms with this level?

Question

Hello, I just received a blood test result showing a TSH level of 6. So the nurse told me I was hypothyroid. However, when she told me the symptoms, I don't have any of the symptoms that correspond to me. Thank you very much for the information! Have a nice day!

Good morning, ma'am, Such a diagnosis is not made only according to a laboratory result. After all, you have to treat the person and not a value :) That being said, it is possible that some people have a TSH value that exceeds the values considered normal without this indicating a problem. As you have pointed out, the whole person is treated, so I believe that this result should be accompanied by a thorough evaluation of your condition. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist With pleasure, good day to you too!
