High TSH: Causes, Symptoms, and How it Affects T3 and T4

Elevated TSH: Causes, Symptoms, and How it Affects T3 and T4

High level of TSH usually indicates that you have an underactive thyroid and that it doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) directly affects how much T3 and T4 hormones the thyroid secretes. If there is not enough T3 and T4 in the blood, your pituitary gland will increase levels of TSH as a result. Elevated TSH levels usually cause symptoms of hypothyroidism like fatigue, constipation, joint pain, a puffy face, or heavy menstrual bleeding (in women).

Because an overactive thyroid secretes too much thyroid hormones, signals are sent to your pituitary gland to secrete lower TSH levels. This can cause symptoms of low TSH or hyperthyroidism such as weight loss, nervousness, difficulty sleeping, or light periods (in women).
