I was just increased to 125 mcg levo and 20 mcg cytomel. Can this increase make me have cold like symptoms?

What dose were you on before and for how long?

When was your last full thyroid blood test? Really need to see your results to interpret the state of your thyroid etc. It sounds to me personally that your immune system is struggling. Or you may have Hashimotos, which means you have thyroid antibodies at work. They cause inflammation in the body and you would have to work on reducing those antibodies. The NHS only does one of the two tests but that one will give you an indicator. Otherwise you will have to do a private blood test to check both thyroid antibodies. I was diagnosed hypo in 1981 and only discovered via a private test in January 2017 that I have Hashimotos.
