Hello and welcome to HCM,
Hypothyroidism has to be managed by hormonal replacement.
The dose of thyroxine has to be reviewed regularly after getting the thyroid function tests.
The TSH value upto 24 is very high.
You should start your medicine.
You need to consult your endocrinologist for assessment of the symptoms and titration of the dose.
Thanks and take care
