Your TSH, cholesterol, and fatigue have all drifted together since 2023 — could an underactive thyroid tie them together?
Three threads point the same way. TSH rose from 2.1 to 6.8 mIU/L across three panels (now above range) while free T4 slipped to the low-normal edge. Over the same window LDL climbed from 104 to 141 mg/dL with no diet change noted, and a March 2026 visit note records new fatigue and cold intolerance. An underactive thyroid is a well-known driver of high cholesterol — but no thyroid follow-up appears anywhere in the chart.
- Whether TSH should be rechecked with thyroid antibodies (TPO).
- Whether treating the thyroid first could lower the cholesterol — before starting a statin.
- Whether the new fatigue and cold intolerance fit the same picture.
