high tsh
Does TSH of 6.42 level need medication or can it be lowered by changing sedentry lifestyle to an active lifestyle?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Lifestyle changes are not likely to impact the TSH. 6.42 does not absolutely require treatment (assuming no symptoms or goiter), but does need monitoring. Once the TSH is >10, then treatment is recommended.
