    Good morning Miss.Karishma.You need to start treatment.I would suggest before you start treatment get the blood examined as asdvised earlier.
    Get B.P checked and X-Ray cervical spine AP &Lat.view done for vertigo.
    For constipation drink plenty of water and fruits like banana and cooked green leafy vegetables.
    If not relieved you may take Nutrilite Fiber 3.7grams in water daily.You can have it online.
    To start with you can take Tab.Thyronorm 50mcg daily
    along with Cap.Thyrowel 1 cap 2hours after taking Thyronorm.
    Best wishes.
