Could going off of 15mg armour for the past week and/or stressful few weeks and yardwork in heat cause p.o.t.s.?

Hypothyroidism: If you're being treated for hypothyroidism and you discontinue your thyroid supplement, the thyroid becomes underactive within a week or so. Classic symptoms would be fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain and slowing of the heart beat. I don't think that POTS would be a likely symptom.
