Noticed Numbing Of Fingers, Hypothyroid, On Medication. Is This Due To Hypothyroid?

On July 31st at my annual E&E was fine. On or about August 15th, noticed numbing of fingers. Saw Doctor and thought beginning of Corporal Tunnel. It is only the ends of my fingers that feel numb, is this due to Hypothyroid? I am hypothyroid and on medications for that.

Inadequately treated hypothyroid can cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
More information is needed:
what is the latest TSH?
How old are you?
Do you work? what is your job?
What is your weight/BMI?
