Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have hypothyroidism. Your TSH level is high in past and still it is borderline high. If you will not take thyroid supplements then your TSH will increase again and you will feel more symptoms,

So you need thyroid supplements. You can take thyrax, synthroid, eltroxin or any other drugs. These all are prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
