Hi Everyone
I have been taking Levothyroxine 50mcg for years. Symptoms were fatigue, low blood pressure and being cold. Recent blood tests came back "normal." But I am still struggling with occasional fatigue and low blood pressue (84/57 today). Needless to say I was dizzy and wanted to go to bed in the middle of the day! One doctor advised increasing my salt intak, which I did but I don't think its healthy. I do drink more than 8 glasses of water! Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated.

My other two cents worth is that you might be drinking too much water and flushing out your electrolytes. Get your doctor to measure these immediately, then stop drinking so much water and return to your doctor at a time he thinks fit for this testto have effect and measure them again. Electrolytes are very important for the workings of the heart (and therefore the pressure it is capable of delivering), particularly potassium. But like I say, this is not an area of my expertise and there are many more electrolytes needed for proper functioning of your body, ask your doc what else should be measured - and Google this for yourself, the more you know the faster you will heal.
