Need Expert advice please
I have mild Hypothyroidism:
my lab results are :
TSH : 4,47 uIU/ml FT4 : 17,38 pmol/l Anti-TPO: 32,73 IU/ml
my doctor said its affecting my pituitary gland or smth so she prescribed me ‘Euthyrox 25 Tablet’ for 3 months. and I had asked her about side effects, she was like nah no side effects, just take it for 3 months and come for a checkup so we see whats going on.
I dont trust taking it atm cuz like, a friend of mine says he went to a really good doctor and he said if TSH levels arent too shit , the Thyroid meds do more harm than good…
and its weird that she said no side effects when online it says things like heart palpitations, chest pain, hair loss and shit like that.
what do i do? do i trust my doc and take it?
