Hello
Thanks for writing in Health care magic
I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
THYRONORM HAS TO BE TAKEN LIFE LONG
Dose has to be increased gradually by 12.5 mcg each time for every 3 months till TSH is 3
i suggest you get an ECG done as you are getting tachycardia and take milk daily as you are on thyronorm which produce hypocalcemia
