Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
T wave abnormality may be due to cardiac cause or electrolyte imbalance. Get done serum electrolytes and echo once to rule out any major problem. If normal then no need to worry and adhere to your thyroxine and keep checking TSH levels once every 6 months. Have adequate regular sleep, plenty of fluids, nutritious diet with required calorie and regular outdoor exercises for your wellbeing. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
