Sensitivity in face around eye

[NadeNud]

Hi

When my levothyroxin is low, I experience a sensitivity around the eye socket area and down the cheek. It can feel like being slightly bruised or punched from inside.

I told a doctor this but she dismissed it as a sinus problem (but it is not painful). Then she said it could also be something to do with the nerves and she also recommended B12.

I feel this is an initial indicator of a levothyroxin deficiency as it has happened with unsuccessful adjustments in medication and over exertion.

Is this typical or documented as an associated symptom?

Thanks

Hi Nadenud

On your Profile you don't give any medical history of your thyroid gland.

Do you have hashimotos? or hypothyroid. Thyroid Eye Disease can occur in hyperthyroidism.

I would ask your doctor to refer you to an opthalmologist in any case just to check your eyes properly.
