How To Treat My Headache And Sick Feeling?

I am a 50 year old woman, caucasian. I am concerned about my health. I take armour thyroid 180mg/day. I feel tired and hung over all the time. If I don't have caffeine by noon I feel headachey and sick all day, even if I have three cups at lunch. Any suggestions?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You are taking armour so you have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can cause tired feeling and headache. If you have under treated thyroid then it can happen.

You should check your T3, T4 and TSH level. If TSH is high then you need to increase the dosages of armour. It will help you to relieve the symptoms.

If it is normal then you need to search the other cause.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
