Hello dear
I understand your concern
Thyroid profile will help in the better management of the thyroid dysfunction.
Consult the endocrinologist for better management.
It is better to take treatment for the under active thyroid to avoid the complication.
It does not cause any major side effects and all the side effects will not occur in all cases.
Complication of underactive thyroid is more than the side effect of the pill.
If you will not take the medicine then weight gain will occur.
Take the treatment and repeat the test after 6-8 week to know the progress and for proper management.
Hope this may help you
