My thyroid test shows a TSH of 7.47. What medications and precautions should I consider?
A TSH of 7.47 indicates mild hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Your doctor may prescribe levothyroxine to normalise thyroid levels, with the dose tailored to your age, weight, and overall health. You should maintain a balanced diet, avoid excessive intake of soy or certain supplements that can interfere with absorption, and report symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, or cold intolerance to your doctor.
