Are Balancing Issues And Painless Twitching Of The Thumb Signs Of Thyroid Storm?
Question: HI I have hashimotos. I also may have infections in the body. I have been having balance issues, listing the left side, strong pulse but low to good blood pressure (i check it at home). I also have painless thumb twitching. I am not sure if i should go to urgent care....worried about thyroid storm but of course it could be many things. at the moment my temp is 96
Brief Answer:
Are you sweating?
Detailed Answer:
HI,
Sweating often accompanies thyroid storm. If you aren't at this time, i will suggest that you stay back and observe only. Could you also count your pulse and report the value to me? A temperature of 96 is not also in support of this. These symptoms are more incidental than suggestive of a disease.
I will suggest you observe only for now. Further measures would be taken if something else comes up.
I wish you well and feel free to follow up with me if you have any further concerns.
