Interactive thyroid?

[Missuninformed]

I have noticed that my TSH levels have been over 4.7 for the past 5 years and I do have symptoms such as fatigue and some weight gain but as I’m 50 that could be due to other things. I just wondered if that points to thyroid issues as my gp doesn’t seem bothered but the nhs website suggests it should be monitored? I just wondered if anyone else has had the same and what the outcome was. Thanks

Sorry that should say underactive

Keep on at the doctors. Honestly. Some are really on the ball and some of them need reminding. At minimum a check should be done at the very least yearly and I did see even before starting the likes of hrt.

Under active thyroid and on medication since childhood.

Have to badger the doctors to review every year now, at the one time of life when I thought it would be most looked after it really is almost like they forget about it. Quite right to be concerned it came back abnormal for second year running and turned out I was on to higher a dose of the levo after it got put up a year ago it is just bouncing. It explained a ton of symptoms I can't begin to say how important it is to act on suspected thoughts. Don't put it off, they thew enough people in mental asylums years ago when the condition wasn't understood.
