Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Do low cortisol/high cortisol cause dizziness and anxiety, or is that a symptom of hypothyroidism? Thanks, Liz Sent from my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 yes. How's that for an answer? I'm sure you were hoping for something more definitive, (so am I).. I did a quick search low cortisol and dizzy. thyroid and dizzy. Cushings and dizzy... Reduced adrenal function (resulting either from 's or Cushing's Disease) can result in weakness, headaches, memory problems, dizziness, allergies, ... low number of red blood cells (anemia), a low or high level of sugar (glucose), or a low level of vitamin B12 may contribute to dizziness. An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) can cause dizziness. quick look on anxiety popped positive as well: http://www.drrichardhall.com/anxiety.htm Although space does not permit a more detailed review, a critical review of the literature15 17 39 shows relationships between medically induced anxiety and hyper-and hypoglycemia, hyper- and hypoparathyroidism, hyper- and hypopituitarism, hyper- and hypoestrogenemia, hyper- and hypoandrogenemia,88 89 hyperprolactinemia, hyper- and hypocalcemia,85 hyper- and hypothyroidism, hyperadrenalism (Cushing's disease),81 adrenal insufficiency,106 growth hormone deficiency, pituitary microadenoma88 and pheochromocytoma.13 Never Give Up! j ------------------------------------ > > Do low cortisol/high cortisol cause dizziness and anxiety, or is that a symptom of hypothyroidism? > > Thanks, Liz > > Sent from my iPad > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 You might also try the the NTH Adrenals list for some of these questions. I mention as as an option for you just in case you haven't seen that group, too. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormones/ and I am finding the off topic group a great place to chat about different things, too... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NTHA-Chat/ I hope my last response helped... and this does, too.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Ok, I'm not on any thyroid meds yet and have been suffering with debilitating anxiety for 7 years. I do have low ferritin (40) and adrenal issues and high rt3.. I am working on getting iron up while I await for my saliva results. Do you think once the ferritin goes up the anxiety will dissipate? .. Liz Sent from my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Low ferrin certainyl does cause anxiety but low or high cortios can as well. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hey Ms Liz, I also suffered from major anxiety for a few years. I was a basketcase. It came on bigtime with a massive brain fog. There was before any diganoses. I am thankful that an eye doctor told me about 5-HTP. I also found that if I could distract myself, and keep focused outside, that would help. Hard to do at first, but got somewhat easier with practice. In my case, Estrogen had something to do with it, as well. As soon as I stopped my monthlies, the heavy anxiety vanished, so maybe it was part of my menopause transition. It still pops in to let me know it isn't all the way gone, but nothing like the h@!! I went through at 40. I also woke up looking like I'd aged 10-15yrs - all of a sudden. (Everything was breaking down and coming to a head.) I do hope you find relief soon. It is a nasty nasty thing. Never Give Up! Don't Forget to Breathe! j ------------------------------------ > > Ok, I'm not on any thyroid meds yet and have been suffering with debilitating anxiety for 7 years.
