Hello, thanks for the query. I had replied to the same query. I had asked you to come back with t3 & t4 values and also about symptoms if any. Since there are no symptoms mentioned it appears there are none. You will have to increase the dosage to 100 mcg per day, then check tsh again after 6 weeks to is desired levels (3 to 4 mu/l) are achieved. If not then dose needs to be further increased. Thanks.

Tsh value of 29 is quite high. You need to increase the dose of thyrox. Consult your treating physician about this for more help.
