Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
There is a need to increase the dose of your thyroxine.
But its better if you get your self checked by a endocrinologist in person before you increase the dose by yourself.
Getting a endocrinologist's opinion will be a smart thing to do and then do as he suggests.
Best regards.
