Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern!
Your TSH level continues to be high because the dose of levothyroxine is low, or the levothyroxine is not taken appropriately (fasting, with empty stomach and not eating for 1 hour).
Once starting the dose, the TSH is recommended to be checked after 6 weeks and the dose is raised if it persists high.
The high triglicerides may be due to hypothyroidism. Correction of TSH and a strict diet containing no fat is recommended.
For a personalised comprehensive evaluation, treatment recommendations, or individual therapy, ask me at HealthCareMagic at this private link: HCM Dr. Guni
