CONSTANT HEADACHES,LIGHT HEADED,HARD BREATHING
by kristaface, May 08, 2008 05:18AM
For about 4 months I have been having constant headaches,which aren't as often as before along with always feeling lightheaded.Being in warm temperatures seems to make me feel worse also.For about a week I have random times where its hard for me to breathe and my heart races to about 120 beats per minute.I also get random chest pain.Also after my light headed feeling some days my vision will be blurry throughout the day.
I do have a thyroid condition graves disease i take levothyroxine and my thyroid levels are normal when i got checked.i went to the emergency room and they tested my blood for anemic thyroid levels alot of other things and they all came out normal.I have also gotten a CT scan done and it came back normal,they also did an xray of my spine and that came out normal the only thing they said was my upper disk in my spine was a little straighter then normal but they didnt seem to think that could be the issue.this is getting really frustrating and i would like some advice on where to go from here.or if anyone has any ideas on what will help.thanks

Headaches, light headedness, palpitations and heat intolerance may actually be associated with the thyroid problem. You have noted that your thyroid hormone levels appear to be within normal range.
Have you been experiencing headaches even prior to the diagnosis of the thyroid problem?
I suggest that you seek immediate consult during episodes of palpitations and chest pains. Your blood pressure and an EKG may be necessary.
Your condition may be explained by the thyroid problem. So for as long as the thyroid function is well maintained, then I do not think this requires immediate intervention.
For new onset chest pains and increase in headache severity ,then immediate consult is necessary.
