Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for posting yor query.
Yes...your current TSH level suggest Drug induced hyperthyroidism.
Treatment of hypothyroidism is decided by TSH level.
Thyroid gland is highly unpredicatable gland, if ongoing damage by lympocytic infiltration is present then you may need higher dosage of thyroxine.
But if ongoing damage is stopped then the same dose may cause hyperthyroidism like picture.
You should consult with physician and endocrinologist and should go for reduced doase of thyroxine such as 25mcg.
You should go for repeat TSH after 1 month for recheck.
If TSH is still <0.35 then you should go for 12.5 mcg. If TSH is normal then you should continue with 25 mcg.
Yes...your all symptoms may de to hyperthyroidism.
You should also follow dietary changes: avoid cabbage,cauliflower and spinach,broccoli.
Take high fibre,low salt and low fat diet.
Put your views also.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
