    Yes. It will not hurt. Yes I had the same. I thought I was hypothyroid again but I had too much levothyroxine circulating in my blood.

      It's not good is it. Have you ever had palpitations or fluttering heart. Hasn't been so bad today because I had no thyroxine. Last two weeks had sore muscles sore eyes and terrible tiredness and croaky voice this week that seems better except the croaky voice and have heart palpitations. Got blood test today will see what it says. Did you know it takes three months for your body to be fully absorbing the new thyroxine level, So the doctor told me.

      Yes I did have all those symptoms and wrongly thought I was undermedicated. But when I got my blood tests back my TSH was 0.03 t4 21.9 and t3 6.9. When you get your results let me know. I had a racing heartbeat and my thoughts were racing but my body too sore and fatigued to carry out what my mind told me. If you see what I mean. Easily aggravated also. So hope you get on okay.
