Is Dizziness related?

[ssl2008]

Just really really confused about what i feel. I had mentioned earlier my symptoms in a post last week, i am going back again for bloodwork this week, but, have recently been feeling very dizzy (off and on) I have always had low blood pressure, even throughout my pregnancy. Anyways, any input would be helpful, i dont get to see a Dr. till the 18th but feel as though i am falling apart and have a 9mth old to take care off. Thanks!

I have been diagnosed with Hashi's since April and have the same problem (and then some) with all of you with the dizzy but not dizzy.  The best way I can describe it is that I feel like I am drunk!  I hate the feeling but I have a long ways to get stabalized so I hope this too will stop.  It ranks on the very high end of my list of worst symptoms! My TSH is elevated but only at 4.33 (which is obviously too high for me) but my Free T4 is WAY to low.

It takes four to five weeks for Synthroid to reach a stable level in your system.  During that time you can expect symptoms to start improving, but to persist.  Also, you might find after your next labs (four to five weeks after starting Synthroid) that you need an adjustment in dosage.  If that's the case, some symptoms might persist until you get closer to the correct dose.  Unfortunately, finding the optimal dose and reaching euthyroid (neither hypo nor hyper) can be an exercise in patience.  Best of luck and keep in mind that you will be feeling better all the time!

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroid in the past two months and have experienced dizzy spells also. I have been on synthroid almost two weeks and still experience them every now and then except they aren't quite as bad.

Google BPV (Benign Positional Vertigo) and see if this sounds like what you are experiencing.

Just for perspective, my TSH never went over 5.96 and I am currently on 88 mcg, most likely going to 100 mcg next week.

So to say that the dose can't be too high due to Subclinical hypoT is not necessarily true. We are all different and our bodies each require a unique amount of medication to return to normal.

Make sure you get a free t4 next time. The T4 can be falsly elevated sometimes. The free t4 is the newer more accurate test.
