One month post TT - headaches and dizziness

[sillypepper]

Hi, I am one month post TT.  I still have a few weeks before my levels will be checked.  I seem to have a constant headache.  It hurts more in the back of my head near the base of my neck.  I also have lots of dizziness!!  It's almost that feeling when you have been on a plane for a long time - motion sickness with out the nausea. Or I could say it feels very similar to when you have a sinus infection or head cold and feel woozy, but I don't have either.  If this would go away, I would feel so much better.  Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Sounds like low calcium levels to me!!
Any information on parathyroid gland status after surgery??

With your symptoms you should not have to wait for a few more weeks.  Since you recently had the TT, I would be most suspicious of that as the cause.  Call the doctor and tell them about the symptoms and the severity and insist on going in for tests.  When you are tested you should insist on being tested for the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4.  I expect that you will find either or both to be in the lower half of their ranges and that frequently causes hypo symptoms.  If that is the case, don't let the doctor put off stating you on replacement thyroid hormone.
