Hello everyone I posted on here back in December asking about levothyroxine. I started it on Xmas eve, I was doing OK on it to be honest. Last Wednesday I lost a relative and I started to feel unwell like before I started the medication. I feel dizzy again not room spin but unbalanced. Im currently on 50mcg. I have a blood test review on 09/03. Could it be I need a lower dose or do you think its a reaction to the shock of losing someone close. Like I say up until last wednesday I was doing Okish.

    Sounds like a sinus congestion/ infection.  I get that often if I don't keep my sinuses open.  My doctor presses on my cheek bones, side of my nose, above my eyes, between the eyebrow, etc. and if there's discomfort she knows I'm congested.  The sinus connects with the ears and air, gas, infection or being clogged can cause vertigo  (Room spinning) and a sinus infection can make you feel ill or not right.

    Could be stress. Keep with the meds for now and see what the test results say
