to ask if you recognise these symptoms?

[purplezebracaun]

For the past month or so I've been suffering with strange symptoms - my GP doesn't know what's wrong with me and doesn't know who to refer me to so said come back in 6 weeks if its still the same.
He ran some blood tests just to make sure it wasnt perimenopause or anything like that(late 30's)

So in the meantime does anyone recognise what it might be?

First off - I'm taking 50mcg levothyroxine as my levels were slightly under - had them rechecked recently and they are now 0.8 - no idea where that is on the scale but I've been told to continue with the meds.
That is the only medication im taking

I'm ravenous most of the time - i never used to be (even when my thyroid was under - never had any symptoms) doesn't matter what I eat i then still feel starving shortly after

I'm 5foot4 size 8 at the moment which is creeping up.

A typical day for me would normally be 2 boiled eggs with a slice of wholemeal toast for breakfast
Banana as as a snack with some low fat crisps
Roasted chicken breast in a wholemeal small wrap with salad for lunch
Either another boiled egg or some fruit/nuts as another snack
Evening meal would have been meat of some form with plenty of veg and not overloaded with carbs

Sometimes I would have fat free jelly for dessert or a low fat type lolly

That would always satisfy me but lately I'm eating probably double- sometimes more than that and the weight is piling on pretty fast to the point where my clothes are not fitting properly.

I dont exercise in the winter as much as i do in the summer but whilst I'm not constantly "on the go" i'm not sat on my bum watching tv all evening either.

Also I'm getting air hunger, dizziness, shortness of breath, a weird pressure across my forehead and almost like a fuzzy head and sometimes i feel like i could pass out any second - never have though. It also feels like i just want to lie down all the time.

I have animals and work with hay so thought it might be some sort of hay allergy although that would not explain the extreme hunger.
I have always worn a mask when dealing with the hay also and in the summer i take an antihistamine as i suffer with hayfever so i have started taking it again a week ago in case it is some form of allergy.

Could this be related to my thyroid or something else weird?

I'm 100% not pregnant by the way!

sorry didn't mean to enable voting!

Are they not just potential side effects of the medication you're on. Did your GP not mention that as a possibility?

I agree. It sounds like side effects from the levothyroxine.

well i've been on it for over a year why would it suddenly be an issue now? Doc doesn't seem to think its a side effect which is why im confused...

Sounds thyroid related. Have they also checked your T3 and T4, ferritin, vit D and B12 and antibodies? Have a look on health unlocked. Some very knowledgeable people on there. Post your results and they should be able to help you. If your GP has only tested your TSH then go back and ask for more investigation.
For blood tests always go first thing in the morning whilst you are fasted and don't take your thyroxine until after the test.

I'm ravenous most of the time - i never used to be (even when my thyroid was under - well, you wouldn't have done. Your metabolim was slow when you were under-active.

I'm the same height as you, and your daily food input is about what I'm eating to lose weight, (I'm a Size 8 for White Stuff which probably means size 10 - 12 anywhere else).
