Please share whether your fatigue is o.k. or not, are there any symptoms. Decision to start treatment for borderline high tsh depends on if symptoms are present or absent.
Do Get anti TPO tested, if high you need treatment.
A TSH of 6.5 with normal T3 and T4 is called subclinical hypothyroidism â the thyroid is working harder than normal but is still keeping hormone levels within range. Whether you need medication now depends on your symptoms and whether thyroid antibodies are elevated. I would recommend getting an Anti-TPO antibody test â if it comes back positive, it indicates Hashimoto's thyroiditis and treatment becomes more likely. Lifestyle changes alone cannot correct a structural thyroid issue, and TSH of 6.5 is unlikely to normalize on its own without monitoring or treatment.
Next Steps
Get the Anti-TPO antibody test done and repeat TSH in 3 months. Consult a physician or endocrinologist with both results to decide on treatment. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
