2017 had a under active thyroid . Went on the pils after second opinion we decide that I can go off the pils. Sins then we check my thyroid every 6 months .
For a last year I had new symptoms like dizzy spells, heaviness in the head , noice in the head . Been suggested that I may have type of meniers disease .
Went to check my blood results for an year back thyroid not good and no one call me about it .
Now They put me back on levotyroxin 25 mg the smallest dose .
My question is can this all symptoms be connected with my under active thyroid ?

If I am staying for an year without any medications isn’t it possible to develop this type of symptoms?
Expert:  Dr Hayat replied 18 days ago.

You need to get an mri of your head and neck....Even being off for a year doesn't relate them to thyroid.
