Can Hashimoto's caused dizziness? Oh yeah. Hashimoto's can cause dizziness. It is extremely common for Hashimoto's to cause dizziness and on so many levels. So, okay. So, again Hashimoto's. Thyroid controls your metabolism. A big part of it is there's two, there's two mechanisms we're gonna talk about here. We're gonna talk about the hypothyroid mechanism. And the hypothyroid aspect of your mechanism is this. A lot of people come in here, they're hypothyroid, so they're overweight. And they can't lose weight. And they're constipated. And they get swelling in their ankles. And um, And so that's the hypothyroid symptoms. And hypothyroid also goes towards it can actually alter blood sugar mechanisms. Hypothyroidism, despite the fact that you put on weight, can actually cause low blood pressure. Hypothyroid can actually cause low adrenal function. When you have low blood pressure, you have low adrenal function, you may be the person who goes from laying down to sitting or from sitting to standing and you like get a little woozy, almost want to pass out. A smaller manifestation now for someone whose adrenals aren't as bad, whose blood pressure isn't as bad, would be dizziness. I get lightheaded and dizzy. Dizzy's a tough explanation for patients. Patients have a tough time describing dizziness. So sometimes it's lightheadedness. And sometimes it's dizzy. The one, I usually cognate on more when someone comes in here and says, I've got dizziness." And it's usually dizziness. And a lot of times it's dizziness and nausea. Sometimes it's dizziness and balance. Sometimes it's actually dizziness and vertigo. Is that, your thyroid has an interesting relationship to your cerebellum, which is a part of your brain that is down here. And I can even, I got a little I got a little brain that I have right on my desk here for patients. Okay. So this is the brain. This is the cerebellum. Okay, down here. So this guy There you go. So this guy right here is your cerebellum. It's called the little brain. And your thyroid has a direct relationship to the cerebellum. And here's how it works. When your thyroid gets attacked There are, by your immune system because you triggered it some way. There's a direct relationship in the sense that there are metabolites in this cerebellum that look exactly like metabolites in your thyroid. And so, and it's something called molecular mimicry. And so when that gets, when your thyroid gets attacked, in a substantial portion of patients, the cerebellum gets attacked. I have one right now and she just, she like, she can't take five steps without being woozy because the cerebellum can cause dizziness, vertigo, balance, stiff necks. It can cause you to have anxiety. But those are all different aspects of the cerebellum. The part that causes dizziness and imbalance and wooziness and vertigo is the cerebellum has projections into your spinal cord that causes like stiffness in the neck. It'll cause stiffness in your whole back. And it has projections into your cortex. It actually can cause blurred vision. But it also, From controlling nerves that are around your eyes. And if the nerves aren't working right, you'll get blurred vision and a bunch of other things.
