[|Human|] My Aunt diagnosed as having 8.11 TSH, was prescribed 100 mg dose for 5 long years. She has now developed severe swelling all over her body, could this be side effects of overdose of medicine? I also had same value of TSH and got treated by our simple home remedy - Haldi.
[|AI|]  Hello, hyperthyroidism (too much thyroxine) does not usually cause swelling. It causes a fast heart rate, sweating, irritability, weight loss, increased appetite, etc. Her TSH was not so extreme to justify any symptoms at all. Checking the TSH and free T4 again would help to clarify this issue. Swelling is a serious disorder that requires investigation. She has to visit her primary care physician for the necessary work-up. Your case is probably different from hers. I can't comment on it without knowing the facts. I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Kind Chat Doctor.
