Assuming that you are taking thyroid medication to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroid or Hashimoto's), if you have a high thyroid reading chances are your endocrinologist will recommend that you take a lower dose of thyroid medication. Talk with your endocrinologist about your test results, as well as any symptoms you are experiencing so that they can help determine the best dose for you.
