Hi,

Welcome to HCM. I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

You have to repeat a thyroid function tests to see if you are properly replaced with thyroid medications.If thyroid function is normal, you have to look for other causes for this symptoms : should check for diabetes, anaemia, high cholesterol, vitamin deficiency etc

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
