I just found out my TSH level is 9.25, but I read that the normal range is around 5.5. I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any medication I should consider? By the way, I'm breastfeeding my 8-month-old baby. I'm a bit worried about how this might affect my health and my ability to care for my child. What would you recommend?
