Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Tsh 10.4 mu/l is quite high even at 58 years age. Ideally should be maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l or up to 6mu/l. So there is a need to increase the dose to 25 mcg per say, then check tsh again after 6 weeks to see if the desired level is reached. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
