Mr. Lybrate-user, the present readings suggest there is sub- clinical hypothyroidism. This normally is not treated. Only when tsh levels cross 10 milli units/l treatment is given. Only certain precautions need to be observed like avoid soy beans, soy containing products, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, radish, peanuts, mustard and coffee. Because these interfere in the thyroxine action. Since you are also having grade 1 obsity (bmi 36.69 kgs/m2), there appears to be a need for treating the present condition even though it is apparently sub - clinical. Thanks for the question.
