Just went to trhe Dr about what they think is hypo

Well i went in today and showed my Dr my test results from the Er.She gave me levothyroxine 50MCG.She didnt retake my blood and im kinda confused about that.She told me to take this and if im not feeling better within a week go back...or come back in 1 month and get my levels rechecked.Im so confused i hope im not taking these pills for nothing and its not my thyroid.My levels at the er was 6.92 normal range 0-3-5.0 but i heard thats outdated that a normal thyroid is 1.1??? Is this true?because the er dr told me my levels are not that high..but i have been feeling really sick.
Heart beating fast dizzy spells,low sex drive,headaches,tired all the time.My Wbc was 11.52 she say that and really didnt say to much about it.Im 25 and just confused whats going with my body:(

It is best to add new comments to your first post, otherwise we lose track of previous info.  Please look at my response post to your previous post.  I also think you need to start looking for a good thyroid doctor.  Your doctor clearly doesn't know very much about thyroid problems and treatment.  With your description of symptoms, I would also add to my prior response that you should also get tested for thyroid antibodies, TPO ab and TG ab.

Also is there any bothersome side-effects of  Levothyroxine?
