Suggest Treatment For Hypothyroidism
I have been hypothyroid for over 33 years now and on 225 mcg of thyroxin for about the last 4 years I have noticed over the last year a substantial weight gain , hoarsness to my voice, throat feeling swollen and difficulty swallowing. My primary care provider says this is all normal with my condition but I just dont feel right any suggestions. Thank you for any help you can give me.
