Suggest Medication For Thyroid Under Active And Sleep Apnea?

Hi Dr. Samuel I am 69years old and have been diagnosed with Thryoid under active and also sleep apnea. Sorry if not spelt correctly I have been told by my doctor she would like to have me on thyroid medication. I have refused and currently taking natural medication( vitamins) to hopefully help the condition. I also have numb feet and wake sometimes with numb hands and when I exercise it goes away a little. Have you any ideas? I live in Australia and am going to get another opinion from a doctor.
thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern you just said thyroid problem and did not say any thing whether this is hypo or hyper thyroid, in fact this is depends upon the thyroid function test you have to get it done if you have not done it, for the apnea if this is severe enough then you have to use the device for this, but first you will have to differentiate your apnea, hope this information helps you, take care and have good day.
I find this answer helpful
