Yawning +++

[Alli1]

Does anyone else have days or times in the day when you can't stop yawning? I'm having this at the moment, I know it's related to being hypo but is it a sign that meds need increasing?

Yes it can be a sign of under medication, my friend used to know whe she needed her next dose of T3 by her yawning and I have recently changed my brand of T4 and am having to judge the right dosage, which has definately left me slightly under medicated and yawning.

Yes i start yawning every day at about 4pm and just cant stop i was wondering what the cause could be, i had a tt in august and now on 125 micrograms of levo blood test due in 2 weeks and endo appointment so will see if i need to adjust my dose

Thanks for replies Moggie and Tatty I am on Levo and Erfa and have recently had to reduce my Erfa as my FT3 was slightly raised so at the moment I'm adjusting doses and I yawn before my next dose of Erfa is due and towards the evening too. Does anyone know the science/ theory behind the yawning symptom in hypo?
