I have hypothyroid. I am told to take medicine (50 mcg) empty stomach in the morning and do not eat at least for further 45 min. But I have to eat within half an hour after waking up. So will it affect my health?

You must delay breakfast as much as possible after taking thyroid medicine. It helps the medicine to have a better effect. If not 45 mins, 30 mins should be good enough.
