Hello, Thanks for the query. Since you are already on treatment with Levothyroxine for over 4 weeks please check TSH again to find out whether there is any reduction. TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L for remaining free from all the symptoms. Thanks.

Yours is not subclinical but overt hypothyroid and needs meticulous control. Get fresh tsh test done and fose of thyronorm may need to increase.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, subclinical hypothyroidism does not produce symptoms such as you describe. It is possible that you may be having a sleep apnoea problem which may need to be sorted out. The other possibility is an emotional disturbance you need a proper consultation with a detailed history to sort out the problem
