Dilated pupils.

I’ve recently undergone surgery which may or may not have a bearing on this.

I’m three weeks out, and the only medication I’m on is aspirin for clotting.

I’m still taking my normal dose of 55mcg T3 split twice, but my activity levels although great for this soon are nothing like they were before.

I noticed yesterday I felt a bit shaky, particularly my hands, in the morning which wore off as the day went on. Today is the same, I feel shaky and I noticed my eyes are quite dilated which fits in with my vision being a bit off.

Does this sound like I’m a bit over medicated? HR is much the same as normal at around 60bpm resting, but it’s always on the low side anyway.

I wondered about lowering my dose a bit before hand, but then my body is working hard to repair, even if I can’t see it so I decided not to. I have a blood test but felt fine before my morning dose so never thought to do it. Tomo isn’t s good day to do it so if anyone has any suggestions, I’d be grateful

If there was Nitrous Oxide in the anaethsetic then it is possible your B12 is depleted and causing symptoms. Hope you feel better soon.....

I didn’t have a general, so to my knowledge there wasn’t but I have been off supplement since the op so going back on everything is probably not a bad idea now anyway, thanks
