Today, I had a general health checkup, and my Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level was 15.88. Should I take medication for this, or should I retest my thyroid levels? because i don’t have any symptoms of thyroid

A TSH value of 15.88 is very much higher than the upper limit of normal. Please recheck it again on fasting blood sample and if it is still high you need to consult a general physician or an endocrinologist for further management. Sometimes you may not pick up the less common symptoms of hypothyroidism or the symptoms may manifest little later. Your physician or endocrinologist will help you.
Thank you Doctor
