Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hi everyone, Well, last night was another ER adventure for me. Since i am between docs and untreated for the moment, I am not doing well, but until last night was hanging in fine. However, last night I collapsed, the room was spinning and I started vomiting. Hubby took me to the ER about 11 pm. They ran a TSH and T4 T4 was below registering and TSH was 1.4 They diagnosed me with VERTIGO...???? I feel this must be thyroid related, but I haven't experienced it before. It was horrifying and awful, I couldn't even talk I was so disoriented, and it gave hubby quite a scare. Here's another wierd thing...I had had a glass of wine earlier in the evening, but at the ER they acted like they thought I was drunk. Hubby was telling them I don't really drink and all I had was a glass with food. The ER doc told me actually that I should go home and " sleep it off. " Well, I certainly wasn't drunk. But maybe the wine triggered the vertigo later on? I am confused Oohhhh! these docs! They make me so mad. Only 2 weeks now until my new doctor appt. But it's getting harder to make it. I have also been taking hawthorn for my HR, it's been very elevated. Could the hawthorn have caused this. Went to my GP today to follow up and she told me to TAKE THE DARN BETA BLOCKERS since my pulse is so high. Anyone have any ideas??? Val DX 2000 PTU for 1 and half years had to change docs because he won't treat me anymore unless I do RAI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
