Mangala ji, Thanks for the query. Usually Hypothyroidism is diagnosed when TSH level crosses 10 mU/L. Between 6 to 9.9 mU/l of TSH it is considered as sub-clinical hypothyroidism and no treatment is advocated. Since TSH now is 5.74 mU/L, there is no need to take Levothyroxine. But you will have to check TSH again after 3 months to see if it has gone up. Symptoms of hypothyroidism are : weight gain, dry skin, dry hair, hair fall, tired feeling and early fatigue, intolerance to cold , muscle and joint pains and anxiety. So if you notice any of these please get a check u done. Thanks.

Your suffering from hypothyroidism, will need long term thyroid hormone replacement. You cannot completely treat thyroid imbalance with food control, you also need medication.
