Hi,

Thanks for sharing your health concerns.

Your lab tests indicate that your thyroid is functioning normally; other causes for your symptoms could be considered for the symptoms including blood pressure changes, hormonal changes related to pregnancy, etc. It is likely that you a on the right amount of thyroid replacement.

Hope this is useful, wish you the best help.
