Suggest Treatment For Nausea And Belching Along With Bradycardia
Question: I wake up in the morning with nausea and belching, feel queasy as well. Belching before food and after eating. These episodes also bring on dizzy, and fainting. Blood pressure is 112/67/68. Bradycardia as well. I have hypothyroidism and my levels are just getting back to normal from extreamly low thyroid. Seems to me that I am swallowing more too. Can you help?
Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
Sorry to note how you feel. An under active thyroid can potentially cause many of the symptoms you are reporting. I see you are on treatment for this but it can take several days to weeks before thyroid levels in the blood are stabilized. Further, when I see someone like you I assess the 'adrenal axis' and by that I am referring to cortisol levels in the blood at 8 am in the morning. Sometimes thyroid and adrenal problems can co-exist. It is also important to know what type of thyroid problem you have ie whether it is due to a non functional thyroid gland versus a pituitary problem. Evaluation for this entails a thorough physical examination

My thyroid gland is non functional radioactive iodine removed goiter. In 1972. So I am a veteran Been on the new dose (.75mcg) for 14days. Was previously on.50mcg.Never experienced these symptoms so severe l. As noted before. How can Thy levels be normal & not stabilized n the blood? I was released from hospital on yesterday. The "C" test was normal.
Aft er about 1:pm belching subsided and dizzy faint feeling was minimal. Any other professional direction would be helpful. What should I be looking for as far as improvements? Any other test. Should I see a gastriintrologist as well. I don't know. Fatigued.

Brief Answer:
Follow up
Detailed Answer:
I see what you are saying.
I was not sure what you meant when you said 'your levels were just getting back to normal'.
It sounded me to me like your TSH was astronomically high and you had only recently (for example, within a few days prior) increased your dose. In such a situation it will take a while (several weeks as mentioned above) to normalize your thyroid dose.
Yes, you will need a Gastro-enterology evaluation. But as I have recommended above, it would be worthwhile assessing the cortisol axis.
