Suggest Treatment For Hypothyroidism
I just got back from seeing my doctor and all my blood work came back good for thyroid. The doctor keeps saying the best diagnosis for hypothyroidism correctly is through the blood. About a month a go ALL my medicines: (for Depression(Effexor)/Anxiety (Buspirone)/sleeping meds (TraZODone) and supplements (potasium, magnesium, zertec 4 Allergies, Hair/Skin/Nails Supplement & B12? What other medical problems have the same symptoms as hypothyroidism?

Hello,
Thank you for using HCM. I read your query and i will try to give you some suggestion regarding your concerns.
You didn't mention your symptoms, but you reported to be the same as those of hypothyroidism i.e; feeling sleepy, fatigue, constipation ect.
Your doctor is right, the hormonal tests can make the diagnoses of hypothyroidism and as they resulted to be within the normal range you have to find out another cause.
If you were a patient at my clinic i would suggest to do a general check up (if you didn't do it) to see the function of the kidneys, liver,a full blood count to rule out an anemia, electrolytes, Vit D level and a cortisol level at 8 a.m.
You didn't mention your age and gender, are these symptoms related to menopause?
I am opened to clarify your further queries.
Kind regards,
Dr.M.Guni
