Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. Since you have been having hypothyroidism for last 5 years, therefore, must be aware that ideally TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L to remain free from all the symptoms of the condition. Since your TSH is 5.68 mU/L, it is higher than recommended level. It is also necessary to know if there are any symptoms that are being noticed. Plus have checked the lipid profile any time as hypothyroidism affects the lipids too. So please let me know these details. Thanks.
