In reply to TSH level, posted by tensor on January 4, 2005, at 8:19:57
It is my understanding that a result above 2.0 could indicate hypothyroidism. For reference,
see the following website.http://thyroid.about.com/cs/testsforthyroid/a/labs2003.htm
I would raise it with your doctor and ask why he/she is not concerned about the result. And, I agree with Glyndin that you may want to insist on a referral to an endocrnologist.

Anyway, i talked to him over the phone today and i asked about the blood test i took last week, everything was fine, he said. I asked what my TSH level is and he said 4.3 and and he added that that was a perfectly normal value. What do you think?
