output: hello I can understand your concern according to your statement you have been suffering from hypothyearoidism for the last seven years and your current medication is levothyearoxine 75 micrograms daily but last friday you took double dose of levothyearoxine that was 150 micrograms and felt nervous with increased heart beat and joint pain at first let me ensure you that taking an extra dose of levothyearoxine by accident is unlikely to harm you get side effects such as rapid heart beat chest pain sweating nervousness etc they may not develop at once it may be several days before they come on these side effects that are resulted from over dose will be subside over time and basically no treatment is needed normal range for ash level is 4 mu so your recent ash level is within normal limit as your last year ash level was 5 mu and recent result is 6 mu which is within the normal limit so continue your current dose of levothyearoxine no dose adjustment is needed now you are suffering from weight gain puffy eyes hair loss etc if these are resulted from the side effects of levothyearoxine then they will be subsided soon please monitor your blood pressure and do investigations like with abc complete blood count ribs random blood sugar and creatinine level to exclude other causes
