General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Go for a thyroid function test ( TFT) to assess the functional status of your thyroid.

If the thyroid hormone is low, thyroxine has to be started and the dose must be hiked if required.

If you are obese and severe hypothyroidism is there, then high dose therapy up to 200micrograms may be needed.

Consult an endocrinologist for an expert opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
