Mr chandrashekhara, tsh level 7.88 milli units/ml is abnormal, it should be below 4.2. Higher tsh level means thyroid gland is not functioning properly and there is a deficiency of the hormone thyroxine. Only treatment is to take thyroxine tablets in adequate dosage for life time. Certain dietary precautions should be taken like avoid soya containing foods, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, mustard and coffee. Consume good quantity of green vegetables (other than mentioned), use onion, garlic, fruits and whole grain flour for breads.
