I have thyroid issues, and my weight is a bit on the higher side. I've been on medication for the past year to keep it under control. But what should I do about losing weight? Should I consider taking a fat burner? I'm really looking for some advice here.

I'm really worried about my TSH level, which is at 36.28. I've felt super depressed and can't stop wanting to eat more. I'm currently on a 100 mcg tablet, but should I be thinking about increasing it? I try to exercise daily for about 30 to 40 minutes. Since I'm staying in a hostel, what kind of food choices should I be making to help get my thyroid under control? Also, I can't seem to lose any weight. Any advice?

I accidentally took THYRONORM twice today, once at 8 am and then again at 2:30 pm after lunch. I was actually supposed to take my blood pressure medicine, Lover 100 mg. Can you tell me if it's okay for me to take my BP medicine now? And is there anything else I should do since I took an extra dose of THYRONORM? I'm really worried about what this might do.

yes you can take it
