Have you had your TSH tested?
I also have the scalloped tongue. See the picture in my profile.
High BP can be a sign of hypo as can weight gain.
Hypo commonly shows up around the time of menopause, confusing the picture.
The only way to know is to have the blood tests.
I had a hysterectomy last summer and have struggled with weight gain for the past year. Last fall I was diagnosed with pericardial infusion (fluid around the heart). Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Hypo (TSH of 20.691), which can cause fluid around the heart. I was wondering if the hysterectomy/menopause caused the thyroid problems, but maybe it is coincidence. I have been on 50 MCG Levoxyl for two weeks. I am amazed at the energy I have. I used to do a load and a half of laundry and call it a day. Today I've done 7 loads! And I'm still not tired. I'm very grateful my dr. did the TSH test.
Thank you, both, for responding. I will ask for a TSH test. Kitty9309 - yes, my tongue's appearance is similar to yours. Sisterof5 - I am so glad that you are feeling much better.
Good luck with the tests and make sure to ask for a copy of the results.
Weird about our tongues. At least we are not alone. Let me know, if you will, what your results show.
Kitty, I will definitely let you know. Thank you for all of your support and kindness.
