Hi dear user
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
Your TSH=13 means hypothyroidism.
My advice is to see an endocrinologist in your area , because it is necessary to do the other thyroid tests T3 and T4 and a thyroid ultrasound.After the results the doctor can decide the definitive diagnose and tje right dose of levothyroxine.
Hope i have answered to your question.
Thank you for using HCM.
Wish you good health.
