A TSH level is normal when it is between 0.4 and 4.0, so a level of 7.65 is a little high. A high TSH test result often indicates an underactive thyroid gland caused by failure of the thyroid gland. On rare occasions, a high TSH value can occur from a pituitary gland tumor that is producing excess amounts of TSH. So this means hypothyroidism.

Usually if you have hyperthyroidism it will turn into hypothyroidism after a while because of how the hormones are. They fluctuate, not right away but over time. The reason you doctor wants you to take the meds is because there are major moods associated with such fluctuations its not all about weight. The thyroid regulated many many things. The scan will better be able to help with where you are at. Did they use the thyroid probe on you yet? Take pictures? I am a student in nuclear medicine and these are the tests we do. Giving the radioactive pill and so forth. I can add more if you add more to your question.

TSH levels below .3, and 3.0 and above are now considered diagnostic of hypothyroidism. You have a very high level. You need to see a specialist for proper treatment soon.
