Your previous posts reflect you are likely sub-optimally under-replaced with your thyroid hormones. You were given some opinions on what you might do in the responses.

HOWEVER… coughing blood is not in any way a normal symptom of anything, much less a thyroid issue, and in my opinion you should be urgently addressing why you are coughing up blood and where the blood is coming from through proper medical support.

I have no idea about it, maybe it’s superficial and fine, but maybe it’s not, but until you know, coughing up blood sounds concerning to me.

I completely agree with FallingInReverse - this is not at all within our experience. It seems very unlikely that it is due to taking too much levothyroxine. Even people who have massively overdosed, for months, don't describe what you are going through.

I simply HAVE to advise you to get an in-person consultation with a medical professional. And to do so as soon as reasonably practicable.

And DO come back to tell us how you get on, what the person tells you.

Could be acid reflux, common when on too low a dose of levothyroxine

How much levothyroxine are you taking

How long on this dose

Approximately how much do you weigh in kilo

Retest 6-8 weeks after EACH dose increase

Test early morning and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Aiming for TSH always below 2

And many people will have TSH around or below 1 when adequately treated

The cause for your coughing up of blood could be one of many but it should never be ignored! By all means, do your own research but my advice, like others have already suggested, is to get yourself to an urgent face-to-face appointment with a doctor who can then have this investigated properly with X-rays etc. Hoping it will go away by itself is not a recommended option.
