Hello, thanks for the query. Madam, I have seen the details mentioned. Tsh 5.9 mu/l means your hypothyroidism is not in control. Ideally tsh should be around 3 to 4 mu/l and t3 as well as t4 should be in the normal range (there is no mention of t3 & t4 levels). Please remember you can not or should not stop taking levothyroxine, that will make the condition still bad. If you have any doubts please do come back. Thanks.
