hi.
Thanks for posting query at HCM.

It seems your suffering from hypothyroidism

This is the reason you have been advised to take "thyroxine hormone" daily.
Kindly take the medication as advised and monitor TSH level every to 6 months.
In addition, also have lipid profile and liver function tests.

hope to answer your concern.
regards
Dr Tayyab Malik
