Hi

Thanks for posting your query

Thyonorm is a medicine that normalizes the reduced thyroid normal levels in patients with reduced thyroid hormone level

In case the thyroid hormone levels increase to a level above euthyroid, thyronorm may cause side effects [Though it is unlikely after 10 years of treatment]

Though you have not mentioned the dosage, and the symptoms you have mentioned are not the documented side effects, it is always better to get a thyroid function test done before stamping it as the side effect of medicine

Hope this helps
