Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon. You are hypothyroid, means your thyroid is not functioning properly. Low Thyroid hormone in blood leads to increased TSH levels. My opinion is not to stop taking thyroid medicine. Please consult a Physician for proper workUp and treatment.
