I'm not entirely sure but I do know that it can cause low sodium so this can definitely upset the sodium/potassium balance.
If I find out anything for definite, I'll let you know

I don't strictly have hypothyroid according to my doctor(symptoms only), but my potassium/sodium levels have been checked twice recently and potassium is top of the range & my sodium down the bottom.
