lybrate-user, If you are on treatment for hypothyroidism with adequate dosage of Thyroxine, then TSH should be between 3 to 4 mU/L, then only all the symptoms of hypothyroidism are in check. If TSH remains high, then weight gain, swelling of face, lower limbs, hair fall, dry skin, cold intolerance, tiredness, slow heart rate and irregular menstruation will continue. Thanks.
