circulation problems

[Denny39]

Hi,

Has anyone in the group experienced circulation problems, in hands and feet going really purple. I have attached a photo. I am on 87.5 T4 and 35 T3 and just done new bloods today.

Thanks

That looks like blood pooling and can be a feature of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

How are your vitamins looking - ferritin, folate, B12 & D3?

Omega 3 is good for circulation problems.

Check your blood pressure Thyroid side effects can cause heart problems It’s your immune system that is attacking your Thyroid hence the problem Unfortunately I Levothyroxine doesn’t work for me at all I’m taking the holistic approach do your research but see your doctor about blood pressure

I had a circulation test done on my lower legs by the nurse at my surgery. It took about 15 minutes.
