Is it common to feel faint and like you're going to pass out and shaky with hypo, i have passed out from my parent arguing once and always feel like this when in moments of stress like that I feel like my adrenals are failing and I've got Addisons or something I keep thinking I'm dying but I dont know if it's common or if it is bad
Any help?
Edit: also I got up at 3am last night as I had to take a wee and after it I felt really nauseous and then my ears starting ringing and I couldn't hear my parents asking me if I was alright so they carried me to my bed and when I lied down I felt better, feel like it was blood pressure, sugar related?

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested. Also important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12
Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially if Thyroid antibodies are raised
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)
if on Levothyroxine.....Last Levothyroxine dose should be 24 hours prior to test, (taking delayed dose immediately after blood draw).
Private tests are available. Thousands on here forced to do this as NHS often refuses to test FT3 or antibodies or all vitamins
Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have special offers, Medichecks usually have offers on Thursdays, Blue Horizon its more random
