Brief Answer: start medicine Detailed Answer: Hi if you have symptoms and high TSH, than you need to take thyroid medicine. I advise to start with 50 mcg empty stomach daily and repeat TSH after 3 months and no need to worry, it seems that you are in stress, but this is not XXXXXXX or life threatening hope this will help
