You may have what is called subclinical hypothyroidism, or else a lab whose reference range is higher than most.
If your TSH is higher than the range for the lab it was drawn in, AND you have hypothyroid S/S, would push for low dose Synthroid. If you DON'T have S/S of hypothyroid, it is perfectly acceptable for a doctor to NOT treat this TSH. Hope this helps.
