Constipation
Hi Doctor,
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism after my bypass surgery. I am currently taking thyronorm 25 mcg and my last test results few months back are as follows :-
TSH - 2.57, FT 3 - 2.68, FT 4 - 0.98. The problem is that I am always constipation since I have started with thyronorm 25 mcg.
Before surgery I had rare constipation. I am also taking heart medication unistar 20/75 currently.
Is my frequent constipation associated with my thyroid or because of my heart medication. Please advice.

Hi., I can understand your concern.
Constipation can be due to lack of water intake, lack of exercise.
Since TSH is normal, no need to worry.
Drink adequate water.
Plan for regular walking.
Take gudlax plus laxative 10 ml at night after food sos.
