hi,

thanks for the brief history of you.

to under stand the problem better let's us understand firstly that the human body is a complicated system and many a times reports come as on higher and lower side. which is at times a very normal thing. as you mentioned you are being treated on the thyroid medicine that means the physician of yours must have found the levels of thyroid to be on a lower side. There are no much side effects if the medicine is for short term. as there is a saying - anything in excess is not good. so if the medicine is prolonged but obvious it won't be good. Since the physician of your have put you on the medicine it would be symptomatic and can be weaned off soon. provided you assist the physician plan for using the medicine for short term.

for this you need to perform regular exercises , meditation and breathing exercises. By all of it what will happen is the cellular metabolism will improve and your report will show the thyroid levels under control. post which you will be weaned off from the medicine.

treating the symptoms and problems occuring in human body is easy as when the medicine are used it is for symptoms and to support the human body to heal. The job of the patient is to follow the medicine guidelines provided to them and do regular exercises. by which the recovery time is sooner and the pathologies are erased soon
