Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that I don't look well and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Could you please tell me what the normal range of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is?Doctor's answer:
