Does Hypothyroidism Cause Muscular Pain, Bad Headache And Tiredness?

I have been taking Levothyroxin 50 daily for hypothyroidism. Last month I discovered that my thyroid levels are creeping up and was asked to increase the dosage. Now I am taking every three days 75 an other days 50. Today I am feeling dead tired, so tired that I feel I am ready to collapse. Also I am having muscular pains and a bad headache. Does this have something to do with hypothyroidism?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

You have hypothyroidism and now you have very tiredness and muscular pain. These suggest that your hypothyroidism is not under control. You should go for T3, T4 and TSH level and set the dosage of drug accordingly. Try to maintain your TSH level in normal range.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
