Can Thyroid Imbalance Cause Hand Tremors And Blurred Vision?
Question: Recently I had non fasting blood work to see if their was an underlying cause for tremors in left hand and some other hyperthyroid like symtoms. Sed rate, metabolic panel, etc. the test came back in normal range. I didn't mention to my endocrinologist that I am also having issues with finding words or how to say words ... Starting to get frustrating and probably annoying to people like my husband. Is there some other kind of test I should ask for ....for example could it be heaven metal toxicity or something that I should have a brain scan for? My vision is becoming a bit more blurry also. Can thyroid imbalance cause all these annoying problems? Should I ask the neurologist on this site for some suggestions. I feel that I'm overall fairly healthy except for the issues just expressed. About 15-20 lbs overweight since thyroid removal
