HEADACHES,LIGHT HEADED??

[kristaface]

I have had hyper thyroid since i was 14 i got it radiated and now am at normal levels.about 2 months ago my whole body went numb and ever since then i have had constant headaches and feelings of being light headed alot of the time.
I have gotten blood work done and all of my levels are fine,i went and got a CT scan done and i have no blocked nerves and no brain tumors.
I have gotten xrays of my spine and nothing shows of any signs of what could be wrong.
any help or ideas would be great.
thanks

yah i was screened for anemia and my levels for that where fine.

i know that i do have hypothyroidism but im on medication and my tsh levels are normal so i dont know if that would make a diffrence.

i havnt really considered the options of tension or cluster headaches,if that was what i had how do you go about treating headaches like that?

and my blood pressure has been kind of high but only for the past few weeks
and ive had this problem for almost 2 months or so

Hello.

Have you screened for anemia? The weakness due to anemia could also present as numbness. You may be in a state of hypothyroidism. There are certain characteristic features of hypothyroidism that show up on symptoms.

Have you considered the option of tension type headaches or cluster headaches? Almost all typed of headaches have the potential to turn into daily headaches.

Have you checked your blood pressure?
