Get yourself tested and you will know the exact thyroid functioning.
A TSH over 10 mIU/L has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure, which is why you' will probably want to seek treatment if your TSH is close to (but still under) that upper limit
When one has a thyroid problem and exhibits thyroid symptoms then the doctor thoroughly checks and diagnoses the condition.
Too much cortisol can also interfere with the conversion from T4 to T3.
A normal range for TSH in most laboratories is 0.4 milliunits per liter (mU/L) to 4.0 mU/L. If your TSH is higher than 4.0 mU/L on repeat tests, you probably have hypothyroidism. Your doctor may also order a T4 test
