How do I find out if I am suffering from hypothyroidism?
Your doctor can arrange a blood test to determine how much thyroxine your thyroid glands are producing.
Does taking Levothyroxine make you lose weight?
Initially, you are likely to lose weight as hyperthyroidism involves retaining water. Therefore when taking the medication, you may lose the water weight, not necessarily body fat.
What is the difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is if you are suffering from an underactive thyroid and hyperthyroidism is related to those suffering from an overactive thyroid.
