My thyroid level is 119 .i am taking thyronorm 150 .plz me for the correct dose. I am suffering from puffiness of face lower limb pains.

Question

Hello, thanks for the query. Madam are yoou sure that tsh is 119 mu/l? Or is there a mistake? Because you are already on 150 mcg of levothyroxin. If your figure is correct then current dosage is not adequate. Are you taking the tablet early morning on empty stomach, then nothing to be taken for next one hour? Do you follow these guidelines? Are you also avoiding soy beans? Please come back answers to my questions. Also let me know t3, t4 and your height and weight for proper calculation of dosage. Dose needs to be increased by at least 50 mcg as it appears. Then check tsh again after 6 weeks. To see if level is coming towards normal (3 to 4 mu/l). Thanks.
