Taking Levothyroxine. Low Blood Pressure And Feeling Hungry. Drinking Water When BP Is Low. What Caused The Low BP?
Question: I feel spacey and sweating. 3rd time this week. I am wondering if I am on too much Levothyroxine. I take 50mcg. Took blood pressure after Zumba today it was 107 over 73. It is always low. Pulse 75. I am in good shape - have always worked out even though I am now 68. I am 5' 7 - 115. Have same weight as always. Thought it might be low blood sugar as I feel hungry but eating swee stuff doesn't seem to be fixing it. My imagination is running wild. worried about brain tumor. I'm drinking water because I do that when blood pressure low. What caused low blood pressure anyway? I have always been so healthy. This is scary.

Brief Answer:
Hello, I would be happy to help.
Detailed Answer:
Given your age, prior radiation to the chest, and symptoms of sweating and not thinking right (all in the setting of a recent workout), there might be concern about your heart. Heart problems can present differently in women than in men. You need to go in to an urgent care or ER setting to get checked out right away.
I hope that this helps.
