Asking For Self, Male, 46 years old, Karachi
Greetings. I had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year 2017. I started with levothyroxine soda 50microgram which was increased to 100microgram three months later. I felt better, but since many months i am feeling that my condition is not improving. I have a doubt whether the right dose is selected or not, and if thyroid is actually the problem. Want to consult with an expert.

Fasting is not mandatory .
Ur doctor will decide further.
Dose adjustments is always checked by by repeat thyroid functions 4-6 week after dose change , you should visit endocrinologist
