Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Nausea is an uncommon side effect of levothyroixine. It however is not known to cause fatigue.

If your thyroid levels are low despite the thyroid replacement, it would contribute to your tiredness.

You may want to have this checked at your doctor, if this is the case the dose would have to be adjusted.

Nausea could have a number of different causes such as vertigo, gastroenteritis, side effect of medication , liver disease, gallbladder disease, head injury, motion sickness.

I hope this helps
