Hi, as per the history, you were prescribed thyronorm for your hypothyroidsm, but you have stopped taking them for 4 months and that is the reason for your high tsh levels. REGARDING precaution one shouid not stop these medicines until advised by your physician. These medicines take some time to maintain a steady blood level so a gradual supervised increase in dose after regular thyroid profile check up is advised. bye get well soon.
