Hello, thanks for the query. I am sure you are aware that hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine secreted by thyroid gland) deficiency disorder. Since this hormone is required for many vital day to day metabolic functions and for normal functioning of brain, it has to be supplemented from outside, hence levothyroxine is given. It is necessary to maintain tsh level around 3 to 4 mu/l to be free from all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Your tsh level is normal because of taking prescribed level of levothyroxine. The day that is stopped tsh will start going up and all the symptoms of hypothyroidism will return. Please understand this a condition requiring lifelong treatment. Thanks.
