Hello
If you are having a normal thyroid function test , you will not benefit from taking thyroid medications.
Other conditions which can lead to lethargy should also be considered- if your sodium is low, consider looking for your cortisol level, to rule out adrenal insufficiency
if you have some problem in sex and erection, shall consider doing a testosterone in the 8 am to rule out hypogonadism
You should ensure that you are having sound sleep in an uninterrupted fashion.
If you have stress factors or you think your mood is low, and you are inactive usually, it can lead to fatigue and lethargy.
