Hello,
May i know wat was ur tsh level wen diagnosed hypothyroid. Tsh is above normal and it should be in target range. In case of pregnancu or aanticipated pregnancy tsh levels are even more strictly kept in lower normal range. The other symptons of flushing palpitation may be due to perimenopausal effects.
