I'm having some trouble lowering my TSH level. I'm on Armour Thyroid 60 mg.
My doctor wanted me to try 90 mg. After two days I got vertigo which I had never
had before in my life. I waited for the vertigo to subside (a few days), then, 18
months later (because I was so resistant) we tried 75 mg. After two days, same thing: vertigo!
My blood pressure is on the low side (90/70 (I think) so is my blood sugar, usually 60 without food).
Maybe that's a factor? My actual question is: Would switching to the artificial thyroid rather than
the natural make a difference? Would it eliminate the vertigo?
BTW, heart was checked, everything is fine. The vertigo goes away and doesn't come back until
I try going up again on the armour thyroid.
I'm extra concerned because I still suffer, after 6 years, from hot flashes, (menopausal) which
disturb my sleep. I'm cautious about the estradiol. Thanks so much!
