No - why do you ask? The average range for a TSH test is approx 0.5 - 4.5 (some start even lower) so 0.7 would still be in that range. Do you have the range for your TSH test?

I'm very sorry but I don't really understand your question. Are you asking what the levels are supposed to be or what the ranges are supposed to be?

If your TSH is 7 and you have clinical symptoms of a thyroid gland problem, some GP's would prescribe. Many people have TSH's much higher than 7 before being diagnosed. Untreated thyroid gland dysfunction can cause other problems. Many of us have much higher TSH's before being diagnosed - mine was 100 and some are even higher.

My TSH has never been as high as 0.7 and my GP hasn't expressed any concern over bone problems and cardiologist at hospital says I have nothing to worry about. It's very high T3, I think, that causes problems - TSH is mostly a red herring.

How do you FEEL? That is more important that blood results!! The TSH test is somewhat of a joke as it was invented to support the use of levothyroxine and is useless in diagnosing UAT!!
