Alcohol and Hypothyroidism

[celticlady]

Has anyone noticed adverse effects when drinking? I have been drinking more lager than usual-in fact almost stopped completely as was getting dizzy easily and couldn't take it. Recently-I have been having a few cans every evening-not dizzy any more but finding it hard to have a full deep sleep. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks.

There have been similar questions in the past in which alcohol had a different affect than before they were diagnosed.

All my life I have been a complete lightweight, but in the last few years it got much, much worse, culminating in my appearing to be drunk on a pint of lager shandy. Enter levo and as soon as I got onto a reasonable dose, currently 150mcg, one of the side effects was a capacity for alcohol.

I suspect it is yet another thing that doctors don't realise is connected.

I love red wine (as per my name x) however at present wine (red or rose) makes me sick. I am hoping once my dose is sorted I will enjoy my wine again.

I stopped drinking over ten years ago because the hypo was causing me to have two or three day hangovers!!
