Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details. However, you have mentioned only tsh value, nothing about t3 & t4. It is necessary to know those values also. Tsh 4.6 mu/l is not really high.

Asked for female, 37 years old from Bangalore

So can I not take medicine for a week and then check after one week again and resume the dose accordingly?
