Difficulty In Sleeping, Upset Stomach, Back Feels Tight. Blood Test Shows Elevated Thyroid Levels

the last four or five days i am having alot of trouble sleeping. I feel tired but when i go to sleep i am waking every 2 hours and it takes 2 hours to get back to sleep. I have a feeling of a nervous stomach and my back feels tight and has a slight burning sensation. I recently had blood test done and my thyroid level was 7.6.

Dear, Hi! definitely your TSH value is high enough that you need treatment but not that high to give you all those symptoms. you must start thyroxine by 1 mcg/ kg body weight and review your thyroid profile after 6 weeks. if your symptoms persist please get back to us. Regards!
