Elevated highly sensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels may result from hypothyroidism or insufficient thyroid hormone secretion. It is essential to promptly visit a hospital for comprehensive thyroid evaluation to determine the underlying cause and actively cooperate with your physician’s treatment plan. In daily life, maintain a light diet; avoid foods high in iodine, as well as raw, cold, spicy, or otherwise irritating foods.
