Does synthroid make you dizzy

[Thyroidman]

I have been getting sinus infections couple times a year for many years I am a 48 year old man 2 years ago I was told by my dr my thyroid levels were slightly out of range and was prescribed synthroid never took it last year almost around this time I had bad ringing in left ear and felt like crap my dr said thinks it's sinus infection gave me cipro ten days did nothing my dr wasn't available so went to walk in they told me I had double ear infection put me on augmenten 875 mg ten more days said ringing was probably from fluid in ear ear still rang bad went to ent and I might add I have sever phobia of any dr and also anxiety I have to take xanax just to go and sometimes that doesn't work dr said I have severe to profound hearing loss mostly in left ear but ears looked fine no infection told me I have tinnitus and have to live with it but I already did all my Google research and it said tinnitus and hearing loss in one ear are signs of an acoustic nueroma wich is a benign tumor dr was sending me out the door but I guess when I told him about the research I did must have made him think twice so he came out to desk when I was leaving and said maybe we better do mri again bad anxiety so opted to do open mri with and without contrast was on pins and needles till I got the results wich they said we're normal but the tinitus was very severe and changed my life and never thought I'd get through it but a year later it's still here and I habituated to it and it's basically background noise and that was a year after being told thyroid levels were slightly off so 2 years no meds I took synthroid 25 mcg I think twice thought it made me feel dizzy now it's been 2 years new blood work shows tsh is 6.9 t4 was in range and t3 was below range about 2 months ago I started feeling lousy little dizzy here n there thought it was probably sinus again took augmenten for ten days started feeling dizzy again so started taking synthroid 25 mcg a day for about 6 to 7 weeks and upped it to 50 for about the following 3 weeks I have been dizzy all day everyday for 2 months with the exception of a few good days here and there it's making life unbareable so I stopped the synthroid for 6 days now thought I started feeling better then dizzy again I fear and hate going to Dr's but doing more Google research alot of people here theses symptoms on synthroid but I have been off them for 6 full days and figured if it was that it would be over already then more research tells me that the open mri are not even close to accuracy of closed now it has me back to worrying about tumor again as they are the same symptoms with dizziness and all I don't know where to turn or what to do I just got blood work again on Friday that does more thorough thyroid tests and also for lyme does anyone else have these symptoms related to thyroid or synthroid it is making life a living hell

Recurrent sinus infections, tinnitus, ear infections and dizziness are all symptoms that may be related to being hypothyroid.  In addition your doctor has told you your thyroid levels were low.  Your latest lab results were too low.  Why in the world are you still resisting taking thyroid medication?  Why are you wondering about Lyme disease when you are having all those hypothyroid symptoms, and also have low thyroid levels?

A good thyroid doctor will treat a hypothyroid patient clinically, by testing and adjusting Free T4 and Free T3 as needed to relieve symptoms, without being constrained by resultant TSH levels.  Symptom relief should be all important, not just test results.  Were you tested for Free T4 and Free T3, or Total T4 and Total T3?  Before discussing further, please post test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.
