Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
You are hypothyroid, means your thyroid is not functioning properly. Low Thyroid hormone in blood leads to increased TSH levels.
My opinion is not to stop taking thyroid medicine.
Please consult a Physician for proper workUp and treatment.
May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful' & give a five Stars too. Write a review about your experience with me.
