It does mean your thyroid is functioning to slow
You will need medication to give a [ boost ] to your thyroid
and you will be on medication for the rest of your life
Take your medication at 6 am sharp to get good result
Do NOT try to resolve this problem by natural remedies ; because it will NOT work
A thyroid who is functioning to slow can bring you lots of problem
Gain of weight
fatigue
swollen eyes
bad sleep
depression ;; even sever depression
See a doctor

There various reasons why a thyroid may be failing. Some are transient and it's all simply a wait and see thing but other reasons can be an autoimmune reaction that is destroying your thyroid. The tests help in determining which is which and if your thyroid condition is too low then meds, thyroid hormones would be given. There's no substitution for thyroid hormones if the body can't produce them due to disease of the gland. If the manufacturing thyroid gland can't produce them then hormones have to be taken orally in pill form.
