Dear User.
TSH of 6 qualifies under subclinical hypothyroidism, which doesnt usually requires treatment,
We do treat them if there level rises to > 10 or they become symptomatic.
I advise you to get complete thyroid profile.
And I personally don't think that TSH of 6 will cause so many symptoms.
Its better to get proper evaluation to find outother reason for your problems.
Review with us with complete medical history and investigation s you have.
We will be glad to help you
