You have to go for a thorough review so that the doctor can analyse your problems and give suggestions. You should also take good care of your health by following a disciplined and healthy lifestyle. Though it may be boring initially, but following healthy habits may help you to become more fit and energetic over the long run. So along with the medicine, adapt good habits in your daily routine. Take care of your diet (add organic foods - read about balanced diet) with restricted calories. Learn about ideal weight and bmi to appreciate the concept of healthy weight. Daily exercise can improve the metabolic rate (you can add a variety of exercises including yoga ). Lastly, you can add homeopathy which is safe and gentle and stimulates / empowers the immune system. You can contact me for further details regarding homeopathic treatment.

Lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query. When hypothyroidism is well controlled with tsh maintained between 3 to 4 mu/l, most of the symptoms are in check. Even the efforts to reduce weight also show results. It is just not possible that maintaining normal level of tsh weight goes down. There is a need for diet restriction and regular exercise of over 1 hour a day. As regards the diet, one has to follow - 1) no sweets or least, no bakery items, no pastries, no breads and no foods made of maida. 2) always used whole grain flour for roti and chapati. 3) increase the intake of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. 4) total caloric intake has to be based on ideal body weight, extent of daily exercise and amount of weight reduction being planned. Thanks.

No need to change the dose. Repeat tsh after two months and discuss with your physician.
