Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about rising TSH levels. Fro the information you have provided, I will strongly consider to put you on thyroid hormone supplements. This is because you have concerning TSH levels and at least a symptom of hypothyroidism which is increased hair loss. Talk about this to your doctors and if they do not feel comfortable considering you for this treatment, then they should send you to an endocrinologist for a second opinion at minimum. You must not present with all the possible symptoms of low thyroid functioning before you get treated. Follow up with this.


I hope you find the above information helpful.I wish you we. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for more clarifications and information if need be.
Thanks.
