Current thyroid tests show hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid. This puts a strain on the heart to cause fast heart rate/ palpitations and cause bone breakdown or weak bones. The dose of thyroxine is higher than your requirement. Dose of thyronorm needs to be decreased

The dose of thyroxin needs to be adjusted based on TSH value. And it’s around 6-8 weeks for TSH to stabilise. The dose to be prescribed now can be decided only after a detailed consultation
