Hello and thank you for asking!
I can understand your concern.
The symptoms you described are not caused by radioactive iodine pill but are due to underactive thyroid.
Before taking the radioactive pill, it is suggested to stop the levothryoxine treatment , that is why you have these symptoms lately.
After restarting levothyroxine the symptoms will resolve within 1 month.
Wish you good health!
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
