Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Your TSH is only minimally elevated. As you are still having symptoms, you could increase your Levothyroxine tablet dose to 62.5 micrograms and recheck your TSH and T4 in 6 weeks. I am not sure in which country you are based, but if you do not have the 62.5 micrograms tablet available in your country, then you could take 1 tablet of 50 micrograms and 1 tablet of 12.5 micrograms to make a total of 62.5 micrograms. Thyronorm tablet is available in both 50 and 12.5 micrograms dose.

I hope this answer has helped you.

Thank you.

Regards
Dr Sunita Sayammagaru
