Thyroid Dose Issue
I am having constipation from past 6 months. 2 weeks ago i got myself diagnosed with thyroid and also done a consultation with a doctor on practo.
My TSH came 20.48 which was way higher than Normal.
Doctor prescribed me Thyronorm 50 Tablet.
After having tablet each day in morning, I felt right after few days but suddenly from past 3 days my constipation symptoms came back.
Should I increase the dose of Thyronorm or what ?

As u have started thyroid tablet recently u need to continue same and repeat thyroid test after 6 weeks of staring/ changing the dose of the thyroid medicines. For constipation can take good amount of fibre and Water in ur diet if still no relief can take laxatives.
