HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, symptoms of hypothyroidism is important and not the value of THS even after the medicine this may remains elevated and this is nothing to worry because important is your symptoms these should come under control, second the dose of drug need to be increased gradually to achieve the optimum effect, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
