I find thyroid problems and symptoms perplexing. My mom has thyroid problems but if it weren't for the blood tests she wouldn't know it. Her only symptoms that stand out is her tiredness and her thinning hair which has been thinning for decades. This is also a symptom of old age. If low blood pressure is a symptom of hypothyroid shouldn't the doctor be looking at her high blood pressure meds?

She makes me crazy! She has no idea what her numbers are ( cholesterol or TSH ) Whatever the doctor tells her she accepts. So how can she expect to get better? Am I going to have to tell her off again? She does know her glucose levels, thank goodness.
