Hi.. Mansi welcome.. First of all.. U have 'hashimoto' s thyroiditis '. In this disease initially thyroid level will fluctuate.. So don't get panic.. Kindly recheck your thyroid levels again, if tsh is still low - ur doctor will decrease your thyroxine dosage.. Don't repeat TPO levels now.. It has no value in monitoring.. Once the dosage has been adjusted you will get relief from the symptoms.. Also kindly reduce your intake of cauliflower and cabbage.. It will also inhibit thyroid function. And also remember u have to take thyroxine tab early morning fasting..
Have a nice day.
