Ranges for TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) vary depending on the method used, but generally 0.3 to 5.0 is normal . A TSH value of 0.06 would be considered low TSH no matter what method is used. Low TSH indicates high thyroid (or hyperthyroidism) and high TSH represents low thyroid (or hypothyroidism).
So, if you have low TSH you are at risk for osteoporosis, having your eyes bulge, scanty periods, nightmares, high metabolism, weight and energy loss and/or diarrhea. It doesn't seem to make sense that someone would have low energy if they are hyperthyroid, but it does happen as the muscles fatigue; i.e. Graves Disease. Usually, low energy is associated with hypothyroidism, but it is a symptom in longstanding high thyroid as well. Whatever, you need a complete work up!
Some doctors will only test for TSH...others, particularly endocrinologists, will run a thyroid panel. If you have the autoimmune form...Hashimotos thyroiditis as I do, frequently the tests on the thyroid panel will be normal until there is significant enough damage to the thyroid gland to cause hypothyroidism. If you have siblings/parents who have grayed early or died in their 40s and 50s from Heart disease, you may want your doctor to run a test for thyroid antibodies or another test.
Cholesterol levels and thyroid hormones are inversely proportional...high thyroid = low cholesterol and low thyroid = high cholesterol. Many people taking statins may actually have a problem with their thyroids. In my humble opinion, Endocrinologists are your best bet.

Is TSH level of 27.03 high?
The "normal range of TSH is 0.3 to 3.0 μIU/mL. A TSH level that is above that range would be considered "high". The pituitary produces TSH to tell the thyroid glands to produce more thyroid hormones. If the thyroid glands to not respond, the pituitary produces greater and greater levels of TSH. A TSH level that high indicates that there is something significantly wrong with the thyroid glands, and the patient should be prescribed thyroid replacement hormones.

A 44.5 means that your TSH level is not within the normal range. While a normal TSH varies from person to person, the range that is typically followed by physicians is .3 to 4.5.

Talk with your doctor about any questions or concerns about the results, as well as any symptoms you are experiencing.
