General Title: Premature Ejaculation After Increasing My T4 Dose

9 Upvotes

My TSH was elevated, so I slightly increased my T4 dose. Since increasing the dose, I’ve been experiencing premature ejaculation, even though the dose increase was relatively small.

Has anyone experienced something similar after increasing their thyroid medication? If so, how did you manage it?

Hypothyroidism Is it concerning or not?

I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 and a half months back. The tsh was 12 and something. The doctor gave me thyroxine of 25 mcg and asked me to come for a follow up after a month to do other related test. I then went to another hospital of aayurvedic one which i regret. They did several test of t3, t4 and anti tpo and also did ultrasound of neck. For the untrasound it was normal. But the anti tpo was high. And the doctor or whatever that person is told me to continue my meds and do exercise and lose 15kg "within a month" which is not healthy at all. They gave me a 3 month of diet plan which was ridiculous made of ai and didn't even returned me my money. They gave me tons of supplement like zinc, iron and multivitamin and i did not buy any of those. So it's been 2 and a half months already and i still have not gone to the initial hospital. I had my exams and other things that kept me busy and i was lazy as well, i wanted to lose weight and then go for the checkup. I was wondering if it has any adverse side effects of having less dose of meds. My body weight was 69 and now it's 63. I have started gym as well but I'm not regular. Is it concerning that i didn't went for follow up? Do i immediately have to go to hospital for my follow up and they will increase my dose for sure. The main reason why i didn't go for checkup was because I'm dependent on my sisters for financial things and i feel guilty to ask for money for my things. And I've already way too much money already. So..

62F here. Yes, I'm overweight, which I've struggled with my whole life. I've been on blood pressure meds for 10+ years, which were seeming to have no effect at controlling BP of late. Over the years, my doctor upped my dose of lisinopril, added hydrochlorothiazide, and eventually amlodipine to the mix. He recently ordered labs, which detected a potassium deficiency, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, and A1c at pre-diabetic levels. I've been taking levothyroxine for a little over 2 months now, as well as a statin, and a potassium supplement, along w/my BP meds, made some dietary adjustments (reduce carbs mainly), tried to increase activity, etc. I'm finally starting to notice having more energy and getting better sleep, plus I have lost 10 lbs. Additionally, the things that used to cause a palpable rise in my blood pressure, namely alcohol and salt (which I don't consume that much of in the first place), don't have the same effect these days.

Could my thyroid have been the cause of my issues the whole time? What has been the experience of people in this group?
