Suggest Treatment For Tiredness And Puffy Eyes While Having Hypothyroidism
Dear Doctor, I am a 30yr old woman, my height is 5.9 and I weigh about 64 kgs. Last year I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (tsh 12). Ever since I have been using eltroxin 25mg. This did get my thyroid level back to normal range, however, I still feel extremely tired. I work for 2 hours in the morning and after breakfast I have no more energy left and I end up sleeping which lasts until 3 in the afternoon. Its the same even in the evening. Previously i used to do meditation and breathing excercises but now I am unable to do even that. Through the day I feel terrible. Sleep just does not seem to be enough. I am also losing a lot of hair. My skin feels terrible. And my eyes puffy. Please advise on what I can do to feel better? Will any supplements help?
