Hiw much do you weigh now..have you been told to lose weight. Hypothyroidism can cause weight gain and hormonal imbalance. you need to watch your weight and follow a nutritional diet plan. You need to have Thyroxin too.
you are having subclinical hypothyroidism and you don't need treatment unless you have four conditions 1.you are married and want to conceive then start thyroxin
2.if you are already pregnant now then start thyroxin
3.Get anti TPo antibodies level if raised then start thyroxin
4.Family history of thyroid illness
if no one in your case you don't need thyroxin until tsh is 10 or becoming symptomic with gradual increase in tsh on follow up labs or untill tsh 10 ie complete hypothyroidism and then treatment is definitely indicated.
Visit my my clinic at chughtai medical center ghazi Chowk college road Lahore for further information.
You need clinical evaluation as this report only is borderline for any decision to be made, opinion may differ amongst different physicians.
Thanks for posting a question and sorry to hear about your issue.
Usually there is no need to start thyroxin at this point. i would suggest u to consult a physician for further evaluation.
your pulse??
