I am not hypothyroid but the latest TSH level was 7.2. My T3 & T4 are at normal levels. MY TPO is also within normal limits. I know that coffee is bad for thyroid functioning, but is it ok if I have one cup of tea a day or on alternate days?

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. With TSH of 7.2 mU/L, you have sub-clinical hypothyroidism. In this condition usually no treatment is advised. However, if there are any troublesome symptoms then some patients are treated with thyroxine. You can take both coffee or tea, in moderate quantity. There is no harm in that. Thanks.
