A member asked:
Total thyroidectomy 1/15 i lost 18 lbs .can you have hyperthyroid symptoms if too much levrothroxine? want to loose 10 more. advice or symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the thyroid dose is too high, you can be hyperthyroid even though you have had a thyroidectomy. It's not a good idea to lose weight thru thyroid med. It hurts your heart, bone, muscles...
