What Causes Lack Of Energy Despite Taking Levothyroxine?
Hi My Levothyroxin isn t helping with my energy issues. My TSH 3 and 4 doctor says are fine. But weight loss is almost impossible unless I work out 5 days a week at 2 hours a day. I am diabetic and A1C shows dropping into normal range. What can I do to bring my energy back up so I feel normal again and lose some weight?

Hello,
I can recommend you to do a total blood count and formula and ferritinemia. Sometimes iron deficiency anemia can cause low energy levels.
Exercising and diet are essential on losing weight and keeping healthy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
