General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. I have gone through your question. TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone, which is marginally low. If you are taking 100 mcg of levothyroxine, that means you have hypothyroidism. These symptoms are not related to your condition. Your doctor did not increase the dosage because you dont need and increase in dosage. If you continue to have these symptoms, this can be due to some other condition. I would suggest to visit your doctor and get yourself examined. Thanks and Regards.
