HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if this is the hypothyroid then the dose of the medicine is the crucial one and this should be exact low or inadequate dose wont effect any more so in my opinion here the first concern would be dose that must be adjusted according to the thyroid function test, better to have the second opinion, take care and have a nice day.
