Can skipping my synthroid (thyroxine) a lot due to forgetfulness cause heart issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: If you have had no heart issues before. Get a 7 day pill box and if the next week you find you've forgotten to take the pills (thyroxine) tuesday or thursday, etc. - just take them before filling it up again.
