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.
