Okay, so my psychiatrist ordered a Thyroid test last week and I just got the results today. My TSH is pretty high, (7. something), and I have to make an appointment with a doctor to find out what it means. But, hospitals terrify me, and I'm a pretty big hypochondriac, so I was hoping someone could clear up a few things for me before I do that.
I've been researching thyroid disorders/diseases, but all it's done is make me paranoid that I have cancer/an autoimmune disease. So:
What kind of tests do they run to find out this kind of thing? I've already had a blood test, but will they do anything more extreme, like a biopsy or something?
Also, how bad is a TSH level that's over seven?
By the way, I'm sixteen and a girl if it's relevant.
Thanks.
