Hi,
Thanks for your question on HCM
As per your history is concerned it is not due to thyroid medication ,as you know it is a hormone required by your body .So take it regularly without any break .Her problem is due to hormonal imbalance only so wait for her TSH to come back to normal range .
Hope that helps
