Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
The symptoms you described are not related to thyroid pathology as your hormonal level is within the normal range under 50 mcg of levothyroxine nor should the dose increased.
Regarding the possible pathologies that may cause it, of course a detailed clinical examination and history is needed as well as some biochemical tests to exclude some common pathologies such as liver or gall bladder pathologies, renal pathologies, electrolyte disturbances, neurological disorders ect.
An adrenal insufficiency may also be the cause of nausea and vomiting but other more common pathologies should be excluded before.
Hope the information will help.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
