Question 1

i have high blood pressure, wolff-parkinson-white syndrome & hypothyroidism. can i take a multivitamin (centerum) & fish oil? will the fish oil help?

Accepted Answer

fish oil: You can likely take multivite and fish oil. The fish oil won't change any of the disease processes you mentioned.

Question 2

when bloodwork is normal, what causes sub-clinical hypothyroidism-symptoms?

Accepted Answer

No symptoms: Subclinical hypothyroidism typically has no symptoms, and is diagnosed by blood test.

Question 3

does hypothyroidism cause fibromyalgia or just the symptoms? ?

Accepted Answer

Just symptoms: Untreated hypothyroidism can cause symptoms that mimic fibromyalgia.

Question 4

can hypothyroidism be a cause for onset anxiety and depression symptoms and why?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Low thyroid levels affect every part of your body, including your brain. Depression can occur with hypothyroidism, not usually anxiety, though anxiety is common in general.  I do not think the exact mechanism is known for why hypothyroidism causes depression, but probably involves changes in neurotransmitter levels.

Question 5

what kind of diseases or isorders could cause both symptoms of hypothyroidism and juvenile idiopathic arthritis? or is one a complication of the other

Accepted Answer

Autoimmune disorders: Both juvenile idiopathic arthritis and hypothyroidism (caused by thyroiditis) can have autoimmune etiology. There is increased incidence of hypothyroidism in patients with jia when compared to matched normal controls. Another autoimmune disorder celiac bowel disease is also increased in jia.

Question 6

other qs pointed me to hypothyroidism, which does match most of what is going on, but are there other things that would cause similar symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Many possible causes: Remember, diseases can cause symptoms, but having symptoms doesn't necessarily mean you have that disorder.  Hypothyroidism is very easy to check for with a simple blood test, and then you'll know for sure. Contact your physician.

Question 7

i am b12 def & have hypothyroidism. been having extreme neuro symtoms for 6 mos that dr says aren't neuro. could b12 & thyroid cause symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is hard to answer definitively without knowing more details of your symptoms, but B12 deficiency can cause a wide range of neurological symptoms & hypothyroidism can cause some. See http://chriskresser.Com/b12-deficiency-a-silent-epidemic-with-serious-consequences and the book could it be b12? For a long list of hypothyroid symptoms see http://www.Stopthethyroidmadness.Com/long-and-pathetic/.

Question 8

can thyroid cancer cause hypothyroid symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most of the time, thyroid cancer does not change thyroid function.  However, after being treated for thyroid cancer, you will be hypothyroid if your thyroid gland is removed.

Question 9

i have hypothyroidism, feel tired, could my cold cause thyroid symptoms to come back?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Common cold which is a viral infection can cause hypothyroidism through causing thyroiditis. This usually resolves within 4 to 6 weeks after the resolution of the viral infection and is not permanent.

Question 10

what thyroid abnormalities can cause those over 36 to grow noticeably taller? in rare instances can hypothyroidism or levoxyl do it? no other symptoms

Accepted Answer

None: In the absence of your taking growth hormone to build your body, I would look to your pituitary for a reason to have both thyroid and growth problems. An endocrinologist may be of help here. The best of wishes for good health.
