Constant dizziness/vertigo and blurred vision

3 months ago i had a dermoid cyst and 1 ovary removed. Dr told me after blood tests in hospital, I have a underactive thyroid and put me on 50mg levothyroxine. Since then I have had constant dizziness,vertigo,blurry vision and just not feeling as if im in my own body...oyes and falling asleep at my desk at work-fatigueness is so bad. Went to Dr like 10 times and he put my on betablockers for fast heart rate but made my bp drop too low...then he put me on anti depressant for anxiety. But I'm pretty sure it's my thyroid that's not right. And all he keeps saying is my thyroid lab test came back normal - when on 50mg levo...i feel horrible to a point where I just want to give up. I'm so scared because I'm only 29 and can't live feeling like this. If anyone can give me some advice to what full blood tests for thyroid should i do to ensure I get right treatment? Thank you xx

What are your actual thyroid hormone levels?  They should have tested Free T4 and Free T3, which are the thyroid hormones, along with TSH, which is the pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones.  

Please post the results of those tests, along with their corresponding reference ranges.  That will give us a better idea of your actual status and we can advise from there.  

Have you been retested since starting on the levothyroxine?  If so, please also, post those test results.
