Acid reflux
Looking at previous post 2 years ago ….you were on 175mcg levothyroxine and had thyroidectomy 25 years ago
Is that correct
How much levothyroxine are you currently taking
Do you always get same brand
ALWAYS test thyroid levels early morning, ideally before 9am and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
What vitamin supplements are you currently taking, if any
Please add most recent thyroid and vitamin results and ranges
Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose change or brand change in levothyroxine
For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 tested.
Very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at least once year minimum
Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially if under medicated or poor conversion of Ft4 to Ft3
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally before 9am last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)
Private tests are available as NHS currently rarely tests Ft3 or all relevant vitamins

Hi Tadger,
Has your GP investigated the cause of your reflux?
I've got a hiatus hernia and take heart meds which both cause reflux, so I can really sympathise because I've had it for years too. Last year I also got a coeliac diagnosis, and the reflux has improved since being gluten free. It is worth asking your GP to test for this (even if you've been tested before),.............if you're not gf already.
I'm cold all the time too. It sucks. 😞
I hope you find a resolution.
Yep that’s what I got
