Hi,your TSH level is normal but i m curious to know even the results of Free T4 and free T3 to understand more about the actual thyroid function.In my opinion your symptoms can be explaned with a condition called orthostatic or postural hypotension, blood pressure drops excessively when they sit or stand up.Other cause of your symptoms can be inner ear disturbance so i suggest you to go to a Otorhinolaryngologist in your area.Giddiness and head spinning are not known side effects of Levothyroxine or Librax.Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
