Should I Be Concerned For The Tingling Feeling In Feet Having Papillary Thyroid Cancer?

I am 11 years status post papillary thyroid cancer and my TSH has gone from .28 in December to 0.08 now. I am currently taking Levothyroxine 88 mcgs qd and was on 100 mcgs 4 days a week and 88 mcgs 3 days a week until 3 weeks ago when it was reduced to the 88 mcgs. I am having a tremoring feeling in my body and some SOB along with tingling in the lower legs and hands and feet. Is this normal? It seems like I have had these symptoms before a few years ago when it was low. Should I be concerned?

These symptoms can be due to an imbalance in your thyroid hormone profile which can be a result of your altered dose. So get a repeat serum TSH after 15 days of the altered dose and adjust the dose accordingly. Also get a serum calcium done as this may be low which can happen after thyroidectomy. If so, you will need to take calcium supplements. If all these are normal, then just drink plenty of water and take a multivitamin supplement.
