Dizziness & Weak

[blue2559]

Hi I am a 25 year old female that gave birth 2 months ago. About 3 weeks ago I have been experiencing blurred vision, weekness tight chest and sometimes problems breathing. My aunt said it could be a problem with my thyroid gland but am not 100 percent certain. Lately i have also been getting heavy migraines, could this b due to postpartdum?

I meant health, dont risk your health or put off getting checked. I didnt have this but very similar symptoms thought anxiety at first. But turns out it was thyroiditis and I was hyperthyroid after an acute respiratory infection. Yours sounds like hyperthyroid too. Make sure to drink enough water and eat healthy, you may have diarhea too?

yes possible postpartum thyroiditis look it up. Not serious sometimes common in months after birth. Most likely resolves in six months but can get treatment for symptoms or if gets worse. have dr or endocrinologist get you blood test, tsh, t4, & t3 levels. Maybe there are other tests too. Best to get checked and treated than risk help of new momma!

The only way to know is to have your thyroid tested.  Go see your doctor.
