I see you live in Cyprus

All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning and fasting and don't take Levo in the 24 hours prior to test, delay and take straight after. This gives highest TSH and most consistent results

Can you get tested for TSH, FT3 and FT4

The dose of thyroid hormone should be high enough to lower TSH to around one and FT4 near top of range

You also really want thyroid antibodies tested

Especially for TPO antibodies

Plus you mentioned in previous post that been dizzy and fainting.

Ask they check B12 and folate

Ferritin to check iron, especially if you gave heavy periods

Always get actual results and ranges. Post results on here when you get them
