Question Regarding Recent Testing
Recently hit my annual, 32 y/o Male, 160lbs, regularly active.
My TSH levels were slightly elevated at 5.4, and my t4 free levels were well within normal, explained to pcp I had recently been on an antibiotic for an infection from a spider bite, and ofc every day stress possibly raising levels somewhat (working on military commission) he wants to prescribe Levothyroxine off the bat, I asked secondary opinion of another doctor in my social circle who feels that’s a little quick on the draw, as well as my father who is a pharmacist of 33 years who believes it’s a little out of the norm.
I just wanted to see if anyone else here had an opinion/input. I’ve asked to see if I can’t just do a follow up in a few weeks to see if anything has changed as I don’t want to immediately hop onto medication per se.
