Help!
I was recently told by doctor after 6 months of blood tests that I have an under active thyroid.
TSH 95.8
T4. 4.3
I am on 100mcg levothyroxine a day and most days feel ok. Then I get bloated, have a racing heart feeling and feel overwhelmingly tired and achy. Do you think there's a reason for this? I am eating so healthy and only drinking water as caffeine seems to make me poorly. Any ideas?

Ouch that is a high TSH number. Are you seeing an endocrinologist? A TSH that high would make me seek the advice of a specialist like an endocrinologist. Just a thought
What's the range on your T4? Ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report.
Is 100 mcg your initial dose? That's a pretty high starting dose. It's often better to start out a little low and increase gradually.
It's not unusual to have a few symptoms crop up when starting meds.
