Question 1

can hypothyroidism  cause blepharitis? and thinning eyebrows ?

Accepted Answer

Yes brow, no bl: Yes to thinning eyeborws.

Not necessarily to blepharitis.

Question 2

my cmp blood test says tsh w/reflex to f4 is 4.44 miu/l (normal range is 0.4-4.5). do i have hypothyroidism? i have sparse eyebrows on the outer third

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: Tsh in "normal" range so not technically hypothyroid.  Some would argue that TSH should actually be lower.

I would repeat this in a few months.  If normal again would stop worrying. If abnormal diagnosis is clear.

In any case eyebrow thinning is not likely due to this tsh.

Question 3

i meet all the symptoms for hypothyroidism: sparse eyebrows, fatigue, dry skin, i have ibs, cmp tsh w/reflex to ft4 is 4.44, yet dr said i don't. do i?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroidism: Hi, you may have subclinical hypothyroidism, and/ or hashimoto's thyroiditis. You may need to have further testing done, thyroid auto-antibodies, anti-per -oxidase antibodies lab tests and perhaps a thyroid sonar.  It may be a good idea to see an endocrinologist, literature shows that thyroid hormone replacement may benefit you. Good luck!

Question 4

my hair seems to have gotten thinner around the front sides of my head. could this be related to hypothyroidism.

Accepted Answer

Consult a Dermatolog: There are numerous causes for hair loss....A competent Dermatologist would be a good start...

Question 5

i have hypothyroidism and my pituitary glands hurt all the time. yesterday=bad all day. can't even touch the back of my head now. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Doubt pituitary: You have headaches.  Hopefully your hypothyroidism is being adequately treated.  Why do you think this is from your pituitary?  A pituitary headache is relatively unusual, and usually is associated with a relatively large tumor. See your doctor about the cause of your headaches.

Question 6

i have sores on my head and hair line. i am also hypothyroid, have been treated for over 10 years now.  what is causing these sores and what treatment?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroidism: Hello: Hypothyroidism can itself be associated with dry scalp, sores and hair loss. Check with your endocrinologist who can ascertain if your dose for thyroxine has changed. Other causes of scalp sores are skin disorders and you may need to see a dermatologist.  Best wishes, Nisha

Question 7

i have had hypothyroidism for the past 5 years now and recently i am having this burning sensation on my head which is very uncomfortable.

Accepted Answer

Probably not related: Hard to know what this is - suggest see a doctor.  Not a typical symptom of hypothyroidism - see the link below.  Best to get yourself assessed and examined.  http://patient.info/health/underactive-thyroid-gland-hypothyroidism

Question 8

can hypothyroidism cause resting trunk and head tremors?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Hypothyroidism is not usually associated with a tremor.

Question 9

but hypothyroid symptoms is rashes. and itchy head and back pain and i got all that?

Accepted Answer

I'm not 100% clear ?: on what it is that you would like to know, but I think you are concerned that your itching and back pain are potentially related to hypothyroidism. That is a legitimate concern if your hair is especially thin and brittle, if you have very dry skin, and if your depressive symptoms have worsened despite medication. Consitpation, fatigue and weight gain are also symptoms. Ask UR Doc about testing.

Question 10

i have hypothyroid take .75mg levo daily. when i lay down or have my head far back or to my chest my throght is tight  and  is hard to swollow causes?

Accepted Answer

Not : Thyroid related. You should discuss this swallow problem with your doctor . Does it ever bother you after eating spicy foods? Do you ever get a foul taste in your mouth or burp up food? Just a thought.
