Hi,

I have a terrible memory and concentration, is it just the way I am or is there something going on? I notice that my pulse is very low, 44 at times. I have felt better this winter since I started taking vitamin D, less light headed which is how I usually feel in the winter. My GP ran tests, but all came back normal, except my ECG, I had a heartscan but all was ok. I've been wondering about going back to the GP, but do feel like a hyperchondriac. I also have reynaulds disease (not badly), feel cold all the time, my hearing is not good, my eyes are deteriorating, not drastically, but a bit. I burp a lot, explosive burps. My arms often go dead in the night. I have low blood presssure first thing in the morning. I exercise a couple of times every week. I really worry about my memory. I notice that hyperthyroidism and hyperparathyroidism are both associated wth poor memory, could I have one of these, or something else at a sub clinical level? I wonder if I have something, which, if left untreated will give me dementia in later life?

My doctor has sent me for another blood test, he said my last one in October was 15, I was going to write it all down what he said the results were, but somehow came out having not done so, he said that both the tests he did in October were in the middle of the range - is that right, is 15 a good score? I've ordered a book today about thyroid problems so I can read up before I go back.
