What Are The Problem Of High TSH Level?
55 yo male, 6-4 tall, 190 lbs, drinker, smoker, active manager, TSH level again at 8.4 after physical, Was same level 2 yrs ago when I went on thyroid med, but I did not continue. This time I will. What would be the top 3 effects associated with my high level; Different websites list dozens of effects so its hard to ascertain what issues I'm having now is a result of my high TSH. If I had to pick a couple, it might be some fogginess and the creepy legs feeling or restless leg feelings, also the cold temperatures tolerance kinda hits home. Thanks.

Hi Thanks for using Healthcaremagic
Raised TSH levels are seen in hypothyroidism .The effects of hypothyroidism may differ from person to person.
The commonest are
Weight gain
Lethargy
Hoarseness of voice
Generalised aches and pain
Puffiness of the body
Mood swings
Hair loss
these are some of the common symptoms.But many other effects can occur
thank you
