Graves

[kristaface]

for the past 6 months ive had constant headaches,and im light headed alot of the time.this all started when i was laying in bed and randomly my whole body went numb for a few hours and ever since then ive had these symptoms.
My vision gets kind of blurry sometimes to which started about 2 months ago.
i have graves which i got radiated when i was 13 years old.
i have gotten my blood work done which has all come back normal.
any advice would be great.

also with me being light headed all the time and my vision being blurry alot of the time
what do you think would be the best way to treat that.

Hi there.

From what you have described, this may be due to migraine type of headaches most commonly due to stressful situations or inadequate rest.  Knowing your previous history of graves disease and previous radiation treatment, these symptoms may be a sign of going hypothyroid together with some electrolyte abnormalities.  I suggest that you be referred to a specialist like a neurologist just to make sure.  Other causes would include deficiencies in vitamins (especially vitamin B) or calcium.

Regards and God bless.
