Should Dosage Of Thyroid Medication Be Altered For Heat Intolerance During Day And Chills At Night?
I take thyroid medicine for the hypothyroidism. In the winter weather I am very heat intolerant in the daytime but I can't seem to put on enough clothes at night to keep me warm. My thyroid dosage has been the same for at least ten years. My question is could I take half a dose in the morning then half at night to even out the body temp.?

Hi,
From history it seems that this problem is due to hypothyroid only.
Taking two dividing dose of medicine is not going to help.
go for regular thyroid test and adjust the dose as per advice of your doctor.
Ok and take care.
