What Causes Dizziness,tunnel Vision And Nausea While Suffering From Hypothyroidism?
Question: I have hypothyroidism and for the past two days I have experienced dizziness , tunnel vision and nausea. This is when I am standing as well as lying down. Also my energy level is nothing. I can't even finish a shower before I have to lie down. Blood pressure lying down is 97/62. Pulse 65
Brief Answer:
Please check your thyroid function, cortisol, electrolytes etc
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Your blood pressure (BP) is on lower side. You need to modify your BP medications. Bringing down the dose of metoprolol to 25 mg should be a good choice as your pulse rate is also on lower side, after consulting your physician.
These symptoms are not specific to any disease. Usually in a similar case what we do is to do a clinical examination and some blood tests:
1. Check your vision and fundus examination of eye.
2. Check blood pressure. Check for any change in BP with posture
3. Check electrolytes, serum cortisol, blood sugar, cholesterol and thyroid function tests
Based on these blood tests if any thing is abnormal we will treat it. So please consult a physician and have a detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
With warm regards,
