Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the weakness,sweating might be due to anaemia or insufficient intake of food.I suggest you to get HB done to rule out anaemia.Food to be taken every 2 hourly in small quantities including snacks.Its good that hypothyroidism is detected.thyroid medicine will not give immediate results unless the TSH gets normal.So TSH is to be repeated after 2 weeks to know if the dose is adequate or any need to be changed. Dont worry . Best regards...Dr.srilatha
