Suggest Treatment For Lethargy And Thyroid Issues

Some more info needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for asking!
Lethargy is one of the symptoms caused by low thyroid.
Please specify the name of medication you have taken and for how long did you take it?
When I see someone like you in my practice, I typically order the following blood tests in addition to a detailed physical examination:
CBC (Complete Blood Count, also known as Hemogram; includes Hemoglobin, WBC and Platelet counts)
Electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium in particular)
HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin = your last 3 months' glucose average)
Liver function tests (SGOT , SGPT, Albumin, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase)
Kidney function tests (BUN, Creatinine)
TSH (checks your thyroid)
Free T4 (this too checks your thyroid)
25 hydroxy Vitamin D levels (ideal range 40 to 60 ng/ml = 100 to 150 nmol/liter)
Calcium
None of these tests require any fasting and can be done at any time of the day.
It will be a pleasure to help you further.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
