I would recommend a thorough evaluation of Thyroid and related hormones. It is possible that you have autoimmune Thyroiditis. Also possible that you are in perimenopause. Hence a comprehensive evaluation of metabolic and hormonal parameters will help. If you wish, you may schedule and online consutation with me.

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. From the details given it appears that present dosage is a bit inadequate. So it needs to be increased by a few mcg per day. (12.5 to 25 mcg/d). Then check TSH after 6 weeks, if the value is around 3 to 4 mU/L, then continue the same dose. That will take care of any symptoms that may be present due to increased TSH level. Thanks.
