What Causes Dizziness,nausea And Headache While Being On Eltroxin?
Good Day.I have been placed on eltroxin treatment recently. Last week i was feeling dizzy, nausea as well as stomach cramps. Went back to my Dr. And he just told me to continue with my treatment as he does not think that it is the eltroxin. This week i have extreme fatigue, nausea, dizziness, extreme headache and this morning i have a rash all over my arms, legs and body.What could be the cause of this and what can i do? Kind Regards Estie

HI WELCOME TO HCM. I had gone through question. I understand your concerns.
ELTROXIN is used to treat hypothyroidism.
Nausea,headache,stomach cramps are common side effects of this drug. these symptoms will get resolved slowly.
as you complain of extreme fatigue,dizziness, rashes over the body, i would suggest you to get blood tests done for blood sugar levels, liver problems and consult an endocrinologist near you for further evaluation
