Sir. At 5th month during pregnancy I had detected hypothyroid and am usually thin. So I continued eltroxin in pregnancy. After delivery one month later my tsh levels are 2.38. And at 4th month post delivery I have checked again and it was 3.78. Why my levels are elevated? Doc said need to continue for life. I have suffering and feeling chill and sometimes sweating after taking eltroxin. Did I need to continue for life? Am exclusive breast feeding now.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. About 1 to 2 weeks after you start treatment with levothyroxine, you will likely notice that your levels of fatigue have improved. It is important that you take your medication exactly as prescribed and not miss any doses as well as maintain routine checkups with your primary health care provider. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
