High TSH with low T4

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

Treatment of hypothyroidism depends on many conditions. Any symptomatic cases needs to be treated and raised TSH level with low T4 needs to be treated. Presence of other conditions do requires treatment at early stage.

Dose needs to be adjusted by regular monitoring.

Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
