How is high TSH managed?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I do understand your concern.

I have just read your query, and it seems that you may have hypothyroidism, given your elevated TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels. Before commencing treatment, it is advisable to conduct an early morning serum cortisol test at 9 am. Once cortisol levels are confirmed to be normal, we can proceed with hypothyroidism treatment. Please test serum prolactin levels. It would be helpful if you could provide information about any other existing medical conditions and the treatments you are currently undergoing. If you experience any severe discomfort or feel unwell, it is important to seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency hospital.

If you have any clarifications, doubts, additional questions, or follow-up inquiries, please feel free to ask again at icliniq website. Wishing you better health.

If you have significantly elevated TSH, it is essential to investigate for adrenal insufficiency, a condition that can occur with such high TSH levels. Seeking assessment in a hospital is advisable for a comprehensive evaluation. If adrenal insufficiency is ruled out, then the thyroid medicine can be administered. However, it is crucial to note that if adrenal insufficiency is present, it can be a very serious problem. Therefore, prompt evaluation in a hospital setting is recommended.
