Thanks for your query
as per your complaints. these all symptoms are because of hypothyroidism.
1- have investigations for thyroid profile, sodium, potassium and heamogram.
2- increase the dose of thyronorm to 150.
3- repeat the test after 45 days.
So have baseline investigation done but if you already have these investigation reports with you send me details so I can explain you better.
with best regards
