It seems that you may be experiencing symptoms related to thyroid imbalance. However, based on your recent lab results showing increased TSH, T3, and T4 levels, it may indicate a shift in thyroid function that requires close monitoring. Numbness and heat intolerance could be associated with other underlying conditions or a potential side effect of your current medication.
It’s essential not to make changes to your medication without proper consultation. Adjusting the dose might not address the underlying issue and could lead to further complications. I recommend scheduling a detailed evaluation where we can discuss your symptoms, review your test results comprehensively, and determine the next steps for your treatment plan.
For better evaluation and treatment, feel free to consult me directly, or you can reach out via WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two.

Your thyroid levels (TSH, T3, and T4) are within the normal range, which indicates that you do not have hyperthyroidism but rather you have hypothyroidism ( under active thyroid gland ). You should continue with the same dose of thyroxine, 50 mcg, as prescribed. Keep following your current treatment plan, and there’s no need for any changes at this time.
