Subclinical hypothyroidism - insomnia and low blood sugar?

[melodyxo]

Hello all,

I'm new to this community, though my thyroid levels have been fluctuating since I was about 19 (i'm now 27!) I was diagnosed with "subclinical hypothyroidism" last year, though previous to that all of my readings came back as being hyperthyroid and many of my symptoms also point to that. I do also have endometriosis and severe PMS, I am very sensitive to hormonal changes.

Anyway, I wondered if any of you with subclinical hypothyroidism experience insomnia? Multiple times per month, usually in the lead up to my period, I get bouts of insomnia where I get surges of adrenaline when I am about to fall to sleep. It feels almost like that "jerk" that you get when you have a falling dream, except I struggle to breath, have increased energy and butterflies in my tummy.

I also experience regular bouts of low blood sugar - I have been tested twice for diabetes and these have come back as negative. It is generally after exercise and at any time of the month. I have currently experienced this for 4 days running now and feel very cloudy and foggy, especially after a night of no sleep also!

Trying to figure out if this should be taken to my endometriosis specialist or my GP. I am booked in to have my bloods taken on Thursday as my thyroid hasn't been checked for a while now.

Thank you in advance,

Rachel

Welcome to the forum, Melodyxo.

It's hard to advise without recent blood results to guide. Insomnia can be caused by over and under medication. I'm not familiar with low blood sugar. Perhaps you'd like to write a new post asking for advice about it.

Post your thyroid results and ranges in a new question next week and members will advise whether you are optimally dosed.
