Your T4 level is a bit high.In my opinion your dosage of Thyroxine should be reduced to a slightly low level, may be to 87.5 microgram.You should go for a repeat profile after 6 months after start of this dose.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, actually only T4 is not taken into consideration, the over all parameter need to be considered, looking your thyroid function test it can be said that this is the "Hypothyroidism" hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
