TSH level change from 0.15 to 11.32 within 6 weeks

I had been loosing my weight around 5-6 kg within 6 months from September 2015 to February 2016. I consulted doctor and he recommended for TSH test. It was around 0.15 muL. Doctor said its hyper thyroidism but no need to take medicine as it fluctuates many times. He advised me to take another test after one n half month. Last week I checked the result n it was showing 11.32 muL. Though, I don't understand much. But it seems now it's the case of Hypo thyroidism. Doctor is out of station n I m waiting to consult with him. Does anyone have idea about this wild fluctuations. I am not facing any abnormal behaviour in myself. What are consequences of this very low TSH?

Your TSH should not fluctuate this much. Sometimes (rarely) you can have a temporary hypothyroidism if you are ill.  A high TSH is hypothyroid. Consequences are slow heart rate, muscle cramps, fatigue, slow digestive (constipation) wt gain, poor concentration, increased pain in areas of past injury, brittle hair and nails, dry flaky skin. At 11.32 you may only have slight symptoms or none at all. Also TSH levels do not tell what your body is doing now. They show what your body was doing weeks ago

So, your TSH went from 0.15 to 11.32, correct?  Did your doctor do any other thyroid tests?

Besides weight loss, do you have any other thyroid symptoms?
