- Dizziness - Thyroid and Brain Symptoms (And how to fix them!) // Thyroid symptoms can cause problems throughout the body and one of the main areas of impact is the brain. Most of the time, doctors don’t understand this connection, which leads patients to be referred from specialist to specialist without any real answers. In today’s video, we cover the three most common reasons why hypothyroid problems can lead to brain symptoms like dizziness. We’ll also discuss natural and holistic strategies for supporting these thyroid issues, so you can start feeling better.

Have ever experienced dizziness or vertigo? What was most helpful is getting you to feel better? -Dr. Brad
Can someone have vertigo before they get hashimoto's?
@@hanimuhammadakber9066 Hi Hani, yes, it is possible to have vertigo before and without Hashimoto's. Allow they're commonly related that's not always the case. Hope this helps!
@@DrBradBodle Thanks!
@@hanimuhammadakber9066 You're welcome!
Hi Doc, I recently checked my levels and they seems fine but, I did an mri n they found a 2 thyroid nodules and fortunately none of them seemed dangerous. The issue I’m facing here is that I’m feeling lightheaded for weeks on and off. Could the thyroid be the issue? Thanks
Hashimotos with nodules and mal de debarquement syndrome for over five years after a night flight. I am on two thyroid meds. I am dizzy 24/7 with swaying, rocking, bobbing and brain fog. MRIs of the brain are normal. No brain tumor. I walked onto a plane as a normal person and became disabled by the next day. I have low vitamin D, low testosterone as a post menopausal woman. I also have high cholesterol but not on any meds. I need the MdDS to go away. It is a living nightmare.
Thankfully I’ve never had this symptom(s)…..
A lot of great information. Funny how most doctors make hypothyroidism seem so simple and easy to correct. “Here’s a prescription for synthroid, we will recheck your TSH and T4 in a few months.” Meanwhile we continue to feel like death warmed over.
Thanks LMS, I'm glad that you liked the info (and that you haven't had to deal with any of these problems!). I agree with you, it's very strange to me as well, especially when doctors get feedback from patients that they're not feeling well. You think that a practitioner would start to change after just a few patients didn't get proper results, but we don't see a lot of that unfortunately.
Thank you as always for watching and for your thoughts! Hope you're doing well!
Wow. Someone who actually put thyroid and vertigo together. I have hypothyroidism and sometimes my vertigo puts me in the ER. I see both an endo and nuero. Are these the only two doctors that can help; specialists? They are just as stumped as i am.
Hi Jessica, thanks for reaching out! The problem with specialists is they can sometimes get so focused on what they know that they forget about how the body interacts as a whole. With anything, we want to figure out if your thyroid is the main driving factor in your vertigo or if there is some other cause. From there, you can be more specific with treatment and hopefully have better outcomes. Let me know if this helps! Happy to answer any other questions you might have!
@@DrBradBodle thanks. My hypothyroidism is secondary issue. I have an enlarged pituritory gland that threw it off. I read that vertigo is a rare symptom so yes, they probabably never came across it. Which shouldnt be too much of an excuse.
Thanks for answering. I went to every other doctor i could think of before even getting diagnosed.
@@PatientPerspective Ah, I see. That does sound like a tough situation. I hope you're getting the help that you need now and things are improving for you. As I said before, feel free to reach out again at any time!
Wow! There was so much helpful info just in this short video. I have been dealing with all three types of dizziness. The vertigo or spinning room comes from an acoustic neuroma that I had removed 35 years ago but the tilting room started 19 years ago and the lightheaded feeling started about 2.5 years ago. About a year ago I stopped all dairy and gluten because my GI doctor suggested that for IBS and I found out that I was allergic too. I also noticed that eating salt helped my dizziness so started adding more salt to my food. And I have added about half of the other vitamins/supplements mentioned due to suggestions from different doctors. None of it was suggested for dizziness but I have noticed far less dizziness the last 6 months. I will definitely be subscribing to see what other interesting insight you might share!
I'm glad to hear that Mischele! It's always my goal to make things as applicable as possible. I hope your dizziness continues to improve and feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Keep up the great work :)
I was diagnosed with Menier's disease, because I was so dizzy , specially after a very stressful event. Then 2 years later My thyroid levels were very high and I had multiple noodles , one of them very big and some time painful. I was treated with radioactive iodine, to cancel my thyroid. I haven't had a dizzy spell ever since. I guess I never had Menier's after all. It was a thyroid problem all alone.
I wish you were my doctor!! I have anemia, spider and varicose veins and hashimoto's thyroiditis.. I've been dizzy for 3 weeks
Hi Brittney, thanks so much for the kind words :) I'm happy to help answer any questions you might have! I hope the video was helpful as well. Take care and hopefully hear from you soon!
One of the best thyroid videos I’ve seen
Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear that. Making youtube videos is not my job, so sometimes they don't come out exactly how I want them to, but I try my best. I'm glad you liked it!
Unfortunately doctors in the UK will not do these tests. I had to beg for a full thyroid blood test and they still missed half of it, then said it was satisfactory. Mean while I've just got worse and worse. Dizziness is a constant issue for me where i feel im going to pass out ☹
Hi Katie, in cases where patients haven't been able to get all the necessary testing, I always have them take as many precautions as they can to try to get back onto even footing. That means, assume that our immune system and inflammation are in play, which requires a stricter approach to nutrition. You might not need that in the long run, but it can be a better way to start off. I'd try experimenting with the electrolytes as I mentioned in the video and see if that helps with your dizziness. Additionally, make sure you're eating enough protein throughout the day. Sorry it's been such a crazy go of things Katie!
icr. decades with drs refusing to diagnose me. usa doctors. around 2000, the normal tsh levels for diagnosing changed and yep, i was, and had been, hypo for decades. had a huge number of symptoms, but all that mattered was that stupid test.
This was so helpful. I’m not crazy. I was just diagnosed with Hashimotos and my doctor said my levels are still normal so I don’t need the medicine for it but I feel AWFUL. The out of balance/ear issues/ are kicking my butt right now. I saw a functional doctor a on Wednesday and I cannot to start a protocol with also change of diet.
How did you go with the functional doctor and what did he suggest you take ?. Please
Hello. I have hashimoto for 8 years and the only time i took medication was during my pregnancy. Now 4 months after giving birth i retest my TSH and is very high ( 11) My Tsh was around 3 or 4 with no medication. now i feel very dizzy lightheaded wit nausea, fatigue and a slight headache. I went to the doctors and they do not think that my thyroid is the problem.
Wow I have Hashimoto and although my thyroid is balanced, my antibodies are high!!! My endo never connected this. I’m vegan but I eat gluten. I guess I should stop! Thank you so much!
Hi Ashalia, yes, it's common for us to see normal TSH and T4 markers, but elevated antibodies. This can still cause problems and low thyroid symptoms depending on the severity of the elevation. It would be worth it to test and see how you do with avoid gluten, while considering that sometimes other grains can be problematic as well. This isn't the case for everyone, but I do think it's important for each person to evaluate and look into. Thanks for the comment! Let me know if there are any other questions I can help with!
@Ashalia, how are you now? How are your Iron levels, my iron has been low for many years & with supplementing iron for past 10+ years. I now contribute this to my thyroid issues & dysautonomia (Orthostatic Hypotension). My low iron is improving, but not quick enough for my liking (impatient, lol)
Ive been having off balance,dizzy,brain fog and fatigue for last few months when I’m on my feet mostly. I’ve done MRI, blood work, stress test and switched drs recently and they said they believe it’s my thyroid since levels are off. I’m hoping that’s it because this has been difficult to live with.
So are you better
@@El-Niil I’m feeling a lot better. I was diagnosed with pots and made a few changes to my daily life. I still don’t feel my normal self but I’m able to be up and not feel like my head is spinning
@@wesyoung9150 I’m glad stay blessed .
I just recently started dealing with this dizzy & nauseous I’m tired of it on top of that I’m losing my hair ):
Hi Crystal, I'm sorry to hear that you've been having to deal with all these symptoms! Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can help with. I'd be happy to chat with you and point you in the right direction. Otherwise, wishing you the very best and hope you feel better soon!
Thank you, Doc. it's really helpful
Of course! Happy to help anytime Hanny :)
Good advice
Thanks Jayendra! I'm glad you liked it!
Again...great video! Thank you❤️👍
Thank you Maria! :D Really appreciate the support!
Just answered some of my questions. I live in Tacoma. Are you near enough to me for an appointment?
I'm glad to hear that Kay! I am actually in Des Moines, so you don't have to drive into Seattle. I can also do Zoom consults if that's helpful! Send me an email at contact@seattlethyroidhelp.com and I can help you find a time to get scheduled :)
Hi doctor. I had tinnitus and vertigo for the past 5 years and I tested audiology and MRI and it's all good. Recently I found thyroid problems. Is these all symptoms is related to thyroid disease
Hi Vijay, it's possible that your symptoms are related to your thyroid, especially since the audiology testing was normal. Changes in thyroid hormone often affect our hearing and vestibular system due to high metabolism in these areas. I would discuss these symptoms with your doctor and try to make some improvements with your thyroid to see if things resolve with your tinnitus and vertigo. Let me know how things go and feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
Hi..is your problem of tinnitus and vertigo resolved now ..did you take thyroid medication and did that help
My father have tested for 24.90 µIU/mL TSH. Can this be the cause for dizziness or vertigo that he feeling for a year.
thanks
You're welcome Anita! Let me know if you need anything clarified! Hope you're having a nice day :)
Whats the best supplement to prevent dizziness? My endo just checked my panel and cant figure out why i am dizzy.
Thank you🙂😊
You're welcome Imtiaz! I'm glad you liked the information! Hope you're doing well :)
Okay. Seattle. I hate going into Seattle. But, I want a consultation.
I have myxedema and dizziness is also very much present as well as memory loss. Why would I go from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism and back to hypothyroidism? I just came out of hospital as was taken off my chronic medication and had to restart today 4 days after being discharged. Depression is huge and the emotions are multiplied by 1000
I recognize it’s not a fun life
sir love you you a am very frarfull thank uu
Thanks so much for your kindness! I hope the information was helpful and you're having a nice day! :)
Thank you going to email you
Sounds good Stevo! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thank you so much again! Would you like to make a video on Metformin /Saxenda/ etc with Hashimoto´s PCOS? Any tips on how to decrease the absolutely hazardous side effects? Cheers xx
Hi Yuyan, you always ask great questions! But once again, since I don't prescribe medication, I'm not sure if I'm the best person to talk about these medications. Have they been causing some problems for you recently?
Mine has got me in such bad shape that i cant mentaly explain how ibad and im effected by it
Hi Jeffery, dizziness is a horrible symptom to struggle with and it can affect all areas of our lives. Sorry you're dealing with this right now and I hope you can start feeling better soon!
Can you please also do a video about prolactin?
Hi Sara, I have a little bit of a video topic backlog right now, so it could be awhile before I get to prolactin. Are there any specific questions you have that I might be able to answer for you now?
@@DrBradBodle I like to learn about the connection between thyroid and high levels of prolactin but also about macroprolactinemia. Not very specific, I know, but I would like to learn more about this in general. (I can't find that much information about it).
Backstory: I have hypothyroidism and high levels of prolactin, but according to blood tests I don’t seem to have prolactinoma. (The doctor said it's macroprolactinemia). I've experienced blurry, low vision in my right eye and menstruation issues (close to absent periods). When I lowered my levothyroxine dose it got better for about two months, and now I'm experiencing symtoms again including the usual like hair loss and neurological symtoms. I would like to learn more about this since it affected my menstruation and I'm worried about it coming back and not being able to have children (I'm 34).
More respect for you sir
Thank you so much for such awareness
I finally found a doctor who actually told me that all my symptoms are related to my thyroid as my antibodies are high too
I have post natal drip, migraine, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, body pain, neck pain, pin needle pain, feeling cold each and every time, itching and redness of skin plus I can see my veins now too, tinnitus, ear pain (always feels like there is something in my ears), eye floaters, twitching and vibration of nerves and ANXIETY
I literally met 30-35 doctors and they have just written anxiety pills for me and said that you are fine, it is all in your mind
Plus I am a postpartum mother
I was telling each and every doctor that there is something wrong with my digestive system but each and every person said that it is anxiety
Hi Sunaina, thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful for you. You might have seen in my recent video on anxiety that I talk about how there's always an underlying cause to our anxiety symptoms. It sounds like due to your thyroid antibodies and gut issues, it was adding stress to your system. Hopefully now you can start to feel better in those areas and improve your health! Wishing you the best. Let me know if you have any other questions!

What about head pressure ?
Hi there! Head pressure is a tough one, but usually I'm looking for things like head injuries, concussions, or changes in autonomic function (dysautonomia is essentially our body's inability to regulate blood pressure, heart rate, etc.). These would be a higher priority for me to assess over thyroid changes. Can thyroid changes contribute to those kinds of brain symptoms? Definitely, and we always want to look at the full picture, but it wouldn't be where I would start. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions!
Hello doctor…I have some questions..I am in thyroid medication now, i am taking 125 mcg levothyroxine at the moment, when I checked my thyroid 2 months back it was around 0.65 mIU/L .now my heart rate is around 103 when i checked today, and I have been experiencing some pressure and discomfort inside my head.Just wondering it’s because of my high dose of thyroid is causing all these symptoms and increased heart rate.Please help me doctor,thanks in advance.
Hi Mary, since the goal of thyroid medication is to increase our metabolism, it's definitely possible that your symptoms are related to the medication dosage. Some people tend to be sensitive to high dosages or a particular form of medication. You should definitely talk with your doctor and see if a change is necessary. Thank you for the question! Let me know if there's anything else I can answer for you.
@@DrBradBodle thanks doc
@@Gracejaison You're welcome! Happy to help any time!
Audio and brain MRI fine. Endocrinologist will not have an intelligent conversation with me. Labs, yeah right. No one bothers. I've used supplements like crazy. Synthroid has gluten and dairy in it. We all with this disease should be in a grain free and dairy free diet. I threw 20 yrs of 175 mg of Chinese garbage medicine in the trash. Added thyroid plus and lots of those symptoms stopped. Now I seek help from functional medicine only .
Hi Brandy, I'm sorry your doctors aren't taking more time for you. Like you mentioned, one of the things I hate the most is when we can't even sit down with our doctor and have a discussion about what might be going on. As challenging as it can be, it sounds like you're making a lot of good decisions and listening to your body. I hope you can continue to feel better! Let me know if there's any questions I can help you with.
@@DrBradBodle thank you so much. Many blessings! Ave Maria.
Okay. Seattle. I hate going into Seattle. But, I want a consultation.
Haha, no worries Kay. As I mentioned in the other comment, I'm in Des Moines and can also do Zoom consultations. Have a good one 😊
