Requires evaluation to rule out migraine, thyroid problem...

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I am Dr. DADAPEER K and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of pins and needles, blurred vision, pain in the head, weight gain....

The common causes for these symptoms are
Primary headaches like migraine and Vascular headaches
Systemic problems like thyroid
Neuropathies because of deficiency of vitamins and other essential nutrients

Since you are complaining of weight gain and pins and needles thyroid evaluation should be included in your investigations.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation to rule out these conditions and treatment depending on the underlying cause.

Do write back to me after consulting your doctor and investigation reports.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards

Can thyroid issues cause you to be exhausted and feel run down and make healing a difficult. In September 9 I had surgery on my left breast and it is still not healed. My body rejected the stitches and the insission opend up. I have blisters that are open and not healing either? Could this along with my other symptoms be related to the thyroid. I am very concerned about the sudden weight gain! I am already over weight I do not want to get larger!

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
Thank you for the follow up question.

I reviewed your history.
Thyroid problems can present with weight gain, numbness, exhaustion, tiredness, delayed healing...
These can be confirmed by simple blood tests to look for the evaluation of thyroid function tests in the from of T3, T4, TSH level assessment.

Hence I advice you not to worry much you can rule out them by simple blood tests.
The other causes which can be considered in your case are migraine headache and other vascular headache.
Considering your symptoms I would like to suggest you to go for evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Do write back to me for further questions.
