There are 2 reasons that could be the cause behind your low TSH: 1  Your glands simply aren't producing enough; 2  Your thyroid gland is producing too much of the thyroid hormone which signals to your brain to stop producing anymore.
A bacterial or viral infection can make your thyroid gland swell. This is called thyroiditis. The damaged thyroid leaks its hormone into your blood, which causes your thyroid hormone level to rise for a short time. Once that hormone is used up, your thyroid hormone levels will drop. Low levels from thyroiditis often don't last long, because the gland hasn't been permanently damaged.
