Highly recommend that you do some reading on the subject, as well as 
asking here.  There are several good sites that will give you a better 
idea of your situation.  Getting the T3 and T4 (Total and Free) will 
give you important information about your thyroid status.

If you T3 and T4 numbers are "normal" and you are feeling well, then 
waiting and retesting might be okay.  If however, your TSH is high and 
your T3 and T4 levels are low, then treatment might be the wisest 
choice, as there are many insidious ways that Thyroid can affect our 
whole bodies.   But, keep in mind that some studies have shown that 
"sub-clinical" thyroid problems can affect cardio-vascular health.  So, 
feeling fine may not indicate "health".

In order to get a full picture of your thyroid health, you really need 
more data points.   Those data points come in the form of additional 
tests as well as your clinical presentation. 

Some websites to check out, besides the archives of this list (an 
excellent resource!):
