Hi, I am 30 years old, having weight loss, hair fall, tiredness, leaky periods, severe leg pain, elevated pulse rate from last two months. I tested sugar, hb and rheumatoid factor. All are ok. But the TSH level is increased to 5.35 and T4 is 11.60. What should I do? Should I start thyroxine?

Since you have symptoms and tsh is also increased sou should start with thyroxine 50 mcg take on empty stomach every day.
