I have been diagnosed 4 years ago with Hypothyroidism, hypercholesterolemia, and was off my meds for 4 months (simvastatin, levothyroidzine). Lately, I am having difficulty with my balance and walking correctly and the ER diagnosed it as vertigo and gave me phenergen . I have noticed that my balance is still poor and I have been taking on a lot of water (cant close hands all the way due to swelling and toes don't touch the floor due to swelling. Is this all related and will go away with the meds or is this something else? My BP at the ER was 168/102, I now way 288 (new 100lb in 6 months), 50 Y/O WOMAN who recently quit smoking 2 weeks.
