What Could Cause Hyperthyroidism While Taking Levothyroxine?
Hello, and thank you. I ve taken Levothyroxin .05 mgfor that the past 3 months and now my blood work say I have hyperthyroid. I have been on thyroid diet for that time avoiding all the goitrophrin foods. Can you help me understand what I did wrong?

hello, I have gone through your query. Your problem is very common which we encounter in our day to day clinical practice.
I feel that the dose of Levothyroxine is slightly higher that what your body needs. You need to reduce your doses of Levothyroxine only after consulting you doctor and showing your lab reports. It will bring you back to euthyroid state (normal thyroid state).
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks and regards
