Hi,

It's possible that the increase in your levothyroxine dosage or the change to a new pharmaceutical company could be causing the symptoms you described. Levothyroxine is a medication used to treat an underactive thyroid, and side effects can occur, although they are usually rare.

Itching of the skin and blisters could potentially be an allergic reaction to the medication or one of its ingredients. Chest heaviness and tiredness may be related to changes in your thyroid hormone levels or dosage adjustments. Hair loss can also be a symptom of thyroid imbalances.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Diwashish Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
