No it's not normal.
Are you taking Vit C and selenium to help you convert the storage hormone thyroxine (T4) to the active hormone T3 which your cells need?
If you've been hypothyroid for a long time then you probably have a weakened adrenal system and the extra t4 is stressing threm.
Nutri Adrenal Extra is good for adrenal probelms.
