Hi Dr.,
I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2016 and was on 25mcg dose. From last two months my levels were 1.6 after stopping medicine. So I completely stopped taking medicine. But today I went for another test and the result is 3.6. Should I take medicine or stop taking any medicine. I am getting slight neck pain from past three days
Thanks
