Is Sleepiness And Headache Due To Increased Thyronorm Dosage?
Hi Doctor,
My Thyroid level 4 months back was 6.67 and the doctor asked me to take 50mcg Thyronorm. Now last week when i checked it was 8.68 now the doctor has increased the dosage it 75mcg 1 tablet every day. Now past 1 week i feel very sleepy and slight headache always. Is this due to increase in the dosage?

Hi,
sleepiness is not a feature of thyroid excess, it is in fact the opposite. However, headache may be a sign of thyroid over dose.
You may consult your doctor for this.
