Enlarged Thyroid

[Amy3878]

Is there a correlation between an enlarged thyroid and vertigo?

going back for more lab work will definetly ask the dr about those.  My thyroid in the last couple of days has swelled up more and the 3 lymph nodes behind my artery in neck have swelled up again.  thank you for your advice.

Your TSH looks perfect, but it is not always  a reliable test.

If you have any other thyroid labs, FT3, Ft4, TGab, Anti-TPO, please post them.

my level was 1.03mIu/L that is the only one they have ever tested.  do not know what my vitamin d was but they put me on a high dose of vit.d  50k IU's every 5 days.

Heather, post your TSH and any other thyroid levels you may have. The 'normal' standard for TSH is changing.

OH man, I have had 2 really bad cases of vertigo this year, and I do have an enlarged thyroid. I would be interested in talking you about your issues! Message me!

Dizziness is considered a symptom of thyroid, although I do not know what the connection between the two is, vertigo could also be caused if the enlarged thyroid causes pressure on the lower ear canal, which would cause vertigo, Low blood pressure will also cause dizziness when rising from a sitting position, I don't think it would be out of the question since thyroid triggers so many other symptoms. Good Luck FTB4
