I've just had my thyroid scanned and the person doing it said that it was enlarged and showed signs of being over active. However, my bloods showed I was underactive and was put on Levo which I've been taking for 5 weeks. I'm a bit confused. Anyone had anything similar?

Goitres (enlarged thyroid) can occur for lots of different reasons, and can be found in people with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
