Hello,

I believe you should discuss with your doctor about levothyroxine dosage intake.

I think you are possibly taking to much of it which is causing the symptoms.

Consult your endocrinologist about it doing T3, T4 and TSH levels and a total blood count and formula.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
