What Causes Dizziness While Having Hypothyroidism?
Question: my wife is 59 years old and just had a dizzy spell that made her go to the ground she said her eyes were spinning - her dizziness is continuing after setting down on the couch = she is taking medication for under active thyroid that the doctor recently raised her dosage - should we go to the ER?
Brief Answer:
You should bring her to ER.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
Yes, you must go to ER, The symptoms you described are not related to thyroid pathology or the dose she changed.
It seems to be a neurological problem that needs a prompt evaluation of treatment.
Wish her good health!
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
