hypothyroidism.

hi,
my tsh level is 6.3 and was asked to do some additional blood tests. i got the results. antibodies are high and they are 222. Also Cortisol baseline is high which is 32.3ug/dL. is this dangerous? i am so much worried. i am on levothyroxine (0.05MG).  Please answer. Reading much about this on internet makes me more tensed.

this is mild hypo due to hashimoto's - a very common problem and low dose levothyroxine is appropriate.  cortisol is likely high due to stress/anxiety but discuss further w/ your doctor.
