A member asked:

Am i hypothyroid if i have all the symptoms and should i take thyroxine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need tests: The only way to know if you have hypothyroidism is to have your TSH checked. The symptoms of hypothyroidism can be caused by other disorders as well. You will only need levothyroxine if your thyroid is truly under active.
