THYROID TSH LEVEL 6.4.
Hi Everyone.
My mother 52 year old and she is having Thyroid level of 6.4 and she is already in medication of BP tablets and also she is pre diabetic.
We consulated one of endocrinology doctor using protco app.
The doctor did Thyroid test and we got 6.4 Thyroid TSH level.
But the doctor said no need of taking any medicine for Thyroid only medication is required if TSH level is above 10 and he suggested few medicine for pre diabetic.
Is this valid ? Is medicine not required until level reaches 10 ? Won't be any problem ? Can you please clarify this ? Do I need to take medicine or not for that ?
