Is my sleepiness psychological, or could it still be due to hypothyroidism?
Good morning everyone!
I had my thyroid removed (and lost a parathyroid gland) earlier this year in March, and my tests are OK.
TSH: 1.31
T4: 0.68
Thyroglobulin: 0.1
Plus: Vitamins are excellent.
I remain sedentary and a little overweight. I weigh 66kg and am 1.61cm tall.
I'm taking levothyroxine, "Puran T4" brand, 100 mcg.
The problem is that every time I take it, I get terribly sleepy, which makes me go back to sleep, and I don't know what to do.
Like, I wake up at 7 am, hand my daughter over to the transport, and go back to sleep until 11 am. It feels like I'm drugged. And by 10/11 pm I'm almost dying. My sleep has really changed a lot.
Could it be psychological or related to the medication?
