Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM.I understand your concern.Your lab reports are quite confusing.Without taking any medications your TSH levels have come down.But TSH level of 7 that you had in your first reading is quite high.

Normal levels of TSH level is less than 5 miu/ml.The reference range varies from lab to lab.

So,i would suggest you to repeat the test once more and confirm the correct levels.If it is high you need to take prescribed tablets.The proper dosage should be taken after consulting your treating doctor.

Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
