Can you not have hypothyroidism even though you have a high TSH level?

Hi,
TSH is the hormone that stimulates the thyroid to release more T3/ T4 hormones (one is converted to the other). If T3 and T4 hormones get low, more TSH will be produced and the thyroid will release more T3/T4. So TSH can be high in response to a short-term dip in T3/T4 levels which can be caused by medicine or as the body's response to a virus or infection. www.about.com has some very good information about thyroid issues.

Is 3.09 tsh level high or low?
It is a controversial area. The upper limit of normal TSH values is 3 or 5 depending on the different recommendations made by different professional thyroid associations and on individual labs. So, a TSH level of 3.09 is usually considered normal but it may sometimes be seen as too high. It definitely isn't considered low. If you are already taking thyroid hormones for hypothyroidism and you still feel unwell then increasing the dosage may be justified. However, if you live in the UK and haven't been diagnosed with hypothyroidism even if you have thyroid antibodies then good luck trying to persuade anyone to prescribe T4.
