What Causes Fainting While Standing Or Walking?
My daughter has been on levothyroxine for 8 years ( she s 24) her TSH and T4 have been deranged for 5 months and now she looses consciousness when stranding , walking . She keeps spiking temps 38.2 , blood sugars drop to 4.2 occasionally she s now getting worse and in and out of hospital with the medics now putting her on propanalol . They say it s not likely to be thyroid related but EEG,Echo, 24hour tape CT head, chest and neck are all negative .. I m convinced it s thyroid related . ???

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the given symptoms could be due to hypotension (orthostatic) if all the necessary investigation are unremarkable then this is nothing to worry, just hysteria need to be ruled out and if found something like that then it need to be taken for treatment, hope this information helps.
