Suggest Remedy For Weight Gain And Lack Of Energy In A Hypothyroidism Patient
I have had hypothyroidism since my daughter was born 24 years ago. I have been taking synthroid and its generic counterpart since - 75mmgrm now.Lately I gained weight and lack energy especially in the afternoon. My blood test and TSH levels are ok as is T3 and T4. I am also lethargic. Should I raise the level of medication in spite of normal hormonal tests?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, you have not given value of THS because it is matter of concern if you do not have any symptoms then no need to increase the dose of medicines more over clinical condition is important to know whether dose need to be adjusted or not, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
