Reading a thyroid report
TSH comes from the brain and tells the thyroid how hard to work, so it moves the opposite way to the thyroid hormones.
| Pattern | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| High TSH, low T4 | Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) |
| Low TSH, high T4 or T3 | Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) |
| High TSH, normal T4 | Mildly underactive (subclinical) |
| Normal TSH and T4 | Usually normal |
Symptoms to mention
- Underactive: tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold, constipation, heavy periods.
- Overactive: weight loss, racing heart, sweating, tremor, feeling anxious.
Before the test
- Tell your doctor about any thyroid medicine, and about hair and nail supplements, which can distort results.
- Fasting is usually not needed.
- Pregnancy changes the normal range, so your doctor will use different targets.

What is a normal TSH level?
Usually about 0.4 to 4 mIU/L in adults. Labs differ slightly, and pregnancy has its own range.
Is TSH of 5 high?
It is slightly above the usual range. Doctors usually repeat it and check T4 before deciding anything.
Can stress change thyroid results?
Serious illness can change them for a while, so results are often repeated after recovery.
