Don't worry too much. It could just be a virus. How long have you felt like this ? Do you have any other symptoms ?

Had it for weeks.

If you have a thermometer then take your temperature when up wake up and before you get out of bed. A very low waking temperature can be a good indication RE thyroid health

Easily said, but don't be scared!

Your GP will likely request blood tests. When you get your results, post them on here so people can advise you what to do. The sooner you get help, the sooner you can start to feel better.

Don't worry too much. As others have said, it may be a virus, but if it is your thyroid it is not the end of the world.

There are lots of people on this forum who have problems with their medication, but there are also many people like me who are treated with Levothyroxine and have no issues. You tend not to hear from those with no problems! I have several friends like me too, one who was diagnosed at an early age before having a family.

Best of luck today
