Overview
The thyroid Stimulating Hormone is one of the most important regulatory endocrine hormones in our body. It is secreted by the pituitary gland to control the functions of the thyroid gland. The fluctuations in the TSH levels act as a feedback loop for the regulation of the thyroid gland and its hormones. Therefore, any abnormalities in the TSH level can cause problems in the thyroid gland.
The normal amount of TSH should be between 0.5 and 5.0 mIU/L. If the TSH levels are abnormal, the following symptoms show up:
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Excessive weight gain or loss
- Irregularities in the menstrual cycle
- Feeling shaky or anxious
- Swelling on your neck
- Vision changes and/or bulging eyes
PharmEasy Labs offers a convenient TSH test package, which contains one test to measure the TSH levels in your blood sample. Analysis of the report can help in a better understanding of your symptoms.

Test Necessity
Abnormal TSH levels can cause various problems in your body. Both low and high levels of TSH are equally problematic. If your TSH levels are too low, it can cause hypothyroidism. This condition can result in symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding, or dry skin.
On the other hand, if there is a high level of TSH secretion in your body, it can cause hyperthyroidism. The symptoms of this condition are weight loss, shaky hands or muscle weakness, rapid or irregular heartbeat, or too much sweating.
If you are having any of these symptoms, your healthcare provider may call for a TSH test. Accurate reports can help diagnose the underlying disease and timely treatment can be provided for the same.
Test Preparation
For the TSH test, fasting is not required. You can have healthy meals during the test. However, you can consult your health provider to know if there are any other requirements you need to fulfil before the test is done.
During the TSH Test
The procedure for home collection is simple and takes less than 20 minutes to complete. For the TSH test, a sample of your blood is required. With the help of a vein finder, an experienced phlebotomist will carefully locate your vein. Blood will be drawn using a sterile syringe and then the sample will be transferred to a clean collection tube. It is ensured that everything is done hygienically so that there is no contamination.
