Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Continue treatment for 3 months and check Ft3FT4 and Tsh .symptoms will gradually reduce.if not check Tsh again and gradually increase dose after 1 month if recommended by the endocrinologist
Initial improvement also takes 7 to 8 days, after starting thyroid supplements. 4 days is too early.
Also get Haemoglobin, blood sugar, serum calcium, vit d and b12 tested and if any deficiency, Take supplements.
Proper evaluation and personalised advice are needed for your concern. A detailed consultation would be best to provide accurate guidance.
