Pregnant Diagnosed With Bradycardia, Extremely Light Headed And Passed Out, Have Hypothyroidism. Is Thyroid The Cause?
I m 2 months pregnant and was previously diagnosed with bradycardia years ago. It hasn t been an issue for the most part, however today I got extremely lightheaded and passed out. I have hypothyroidism as well, and am 30 years old. Is it possible the bradycardia or the thyroid condition could ve played a part in passing out today?
Hi,
As such, in early pregnancy, transient hypotension can cause syncopal attacks. Since you have hypothyroidism, the basal metabolic rate of your system would be low; you have associated bradycardia also. Though your body would be functioning without any trouble in the normal state, in the pregnant condition there is increased metabolism and demands rise; as such your body is probably not able to cope with the raised demand and you pass out. You need proper evaluation from a cardiologist and an endocrinologist for future management. Wish you good health.
