Possibly: Thyroid disease affects nearly every organ system in your body. It's easily treatable and you can prevent problems by following doctor's advise regarding your care and treatment. I would recommend you see a doctor asap, get your levels checked again, and follow doctor's instructions.

Graves: Graves disease is hyperthyroidism(overactive) and you wouldn't be given levothyroxin while your thyroid was overactive. Perhaps treatment converted your thyroid to an underactive state and you had to take levothyroxin then. You have to get thyroid blood tests to see where you are now.
