What Causes High Body Temperature While On Levothyroxine?
My dose of Levothyroxine was recently changed from 125 mcg to 100 mcg (10 days ago). My Dr told me my thyroid was high. I have been experiencing frequent spells of overheating. I live in a/c apartment. Even when I m sitting quietly then get up I feel hot. Is this just thyroid symptom or maybe my dose of medicine?

Hello
Levothyroxine caused symptoms of hyperthyroidism and that's why your doctor reduced its dose. So don't worry and wait until the symptoms go away.
