What Causes Anxiety While On Medication For Low Thyroid?
I have started feeling anxiety, just feeling hyper
I do have border line low thyroid so my naturopath put me on Iodine, 2 drops a day and I was feeling fine for a few months, but now every day feel very hyper
I do take EFA's which I know are fine, multi's, HMF Forte and I do take Estrovera as well. I am 57 and in menopause so thought it could be the estrovera as well, something else new since the last few months
Not sure what is doing this, but hate this feeling, just very jumpy and hyper

Dear ,your feeling of symptoms can be due to the side effects of medication you are undergoing .
And most importantly ,you are in menopausal state and these hyper & jumpy feelings and anxiety are very natural .
You are taking Estrovera ,it's fine . It should give you relief which is expected No medicine should be taken for indefinite time unless it is giving you the desired results .
Or you should consult the doctor informing your situation .
For your info ,gulping on only medicines will not help cure unless you modify your life style and food habits .
I would like to suggest you to take regular balanced diet containing all essential nutrients ,vitamins ,minerals in proper proportion in natural form and increase activity level .
Adopt walk ,yoga ,pranayam , meditation which gives inner strength and peace relieving you from all nagativity
Drink lot of water to detoxify your system
Avoid constipation , sleeplessness ,stress ,tea ,coffee , soking ,alcohol
Take Homeopathic Lechesis 30 /a drop or 2 / with 4 spoons of water /morning and evening 1 day . One dose dose for next 3 days will certainly relieve you of your agony
