Hope you are going for regular health check up and do the tests as advised. Adapt a more holistic approach and try to maintain good metabolic rate, daily exercise can be very beneficial in the long run. Talk to your doctor and discuss about your problems and doubts. Some extra tests can be done to diagnose the problem. Learn yoga and pranayam as it can help the body to rejuvenate naturally without any side-effects. You can also add homeopathy which is also safe and effective. It can be given based on a detailed case-history. You can contact me for a detailed consultation.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. When is on adequate dosage of levothyroxine, tsh is maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l, at which level all the symptoms are in check. Since tsh is 6.27 mu/l, it is clear that present dosage is not adequate. It needs to be increased by 12.5 mcg (75 + 12.5 = 87.5 mcg) per day. Then check tsh after 6 weeks to see if desired level is reached. Thanks.
