Hello,
Good day.
You have auto immune hypothyroidism ( hashimoto's thyroiditis). As your TSH level is quite high, you need thyroxine treatment. It is a safe drug with out side effects. Your symptoms are due to hypothyroidism.
You can start with 50 mcg Thyronorm on empty stomach in the morning and recheck your TSH and Free T4 after 6 weeks
Regards
Binu
