Welcome and thank you for asking!
I can understand your query.

You TSH level is slightly above the normal ranges but you didn't check the FT4 and FT3 levels. If they are within the normal level it is called subclinical hypothyroidism and in most of the cases is asymptomatic.
Anyway, to confirm that your symptoms are not due to thyroid under function, you may start levothyroxine (50 mcg daily) and check the TSH after 6 weeks.
If it is corrected and the symptoms are still present than thyroid is excluded as a cause of your symptoms.
Hope i was helpful.

Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
