Hello,
I have gone carefully through your query and understood your concern.
The symptoms you described are suggestive for underactive thyroid, it means that probably the dose of levothyroxine you are taking is not enough.
I would recommend to check TSH level and adjust the dose according to it's result.
For a personalised comprehensive evaluation, treatment recommendations, or individual therapy, ask me at HealthCareMagic at this private link:
