Fairyeyes, hypothyroid symptoms can worsen in the 7-8 days it takes Levothyroxine to be absorbed. Breathlessness, dizziness and the pain you describe seems unlikely on such a low dose and I'm wondering if you may be having an allergic reaction to one of the fillers in the tablet. It won't hurt to stop the Levothyroxine for a couple of days to see whether symptoms improve until you can discuss it with your pharmacist or GP.

Thank you .i will give it a couple of more days,unless i feel worse of course, although i don't think i could feel much worse,is there any where i can read up on all i need to know about the levels of everything as i don't have a good understanding of it all and i like to know everything i am able to.thank you so much.
