Talk to Endocrinologist on Hypothyroidism - Levothyroxine Doses

person-avatar

Asking For Self, Female, 19 Years old, pakistan

Assalamualaikum. I have hypothyroidism and was diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroiditis last year this time. I started off with Eutroxsig/Euthyrox (levothyroxine sodium) 20 mg and then increased the dose to 50 mg. Currently I take 50mg of this medication and was advised to do a follow up blood test this February, which i did. My results for TSHs was 3.55 and Free T4 was 1.03 (my free t4 is always within the normal range) I have attached my blood test reports here. Please suggest me whether I should continue with my current dose or increase/decrease it. Thank you!

I currently have no noticeable symptoms, I do feel a little light headed but I believe thats due to a deficiency in b12
