I've been on Thyronorm 25 mcg for the past two years, but I recently had a couple of lab tests. The first one was 20 days ago, and I hadn't taken my morning dose thenit showed a level of 4.8. Yesterday, I took the test after having my morning dose, and the level was 2.6. Do you think I should consider reducing my dosage?

Based on the lab results, it appears that your thyroid levels have improved after taking your morning dose. The lower value (2.6) suggests that the current dosage may be appropriate. However, I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine if a dosage adjustment is necessary, as they can assess your overall health and treatment response more accurately.

I've been dealing with this issue on and off for a while now where I'm experiencing high breathing and a high heart rate. An ECG showed sinus tachycardia. Lately, I've been noticing an increase in urine production and have been having some stomach issues. There's water vomit full of air bubbles and my stool and urine are also showing air bubbles, even though the urine tests didn't detect any protein. I've become very sensitive to the cold and have been having a low-grade fever that reaches around 100 degrees. Could you help me understand what's going on?
