Could be anxiety or drug-related

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your symptoms. The most likely cause could be levothyroxine related. Please check your TSH, T3 and T4 levels, and get the medicine dose adjusted as per the reports.

If the thyroid blood tests are within normal limits, then, anxiety can also produce all these symptoms.

A small dose of clonazepam would help you.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
