Suggest Remedy For Numbness In Arms After Overdose Of Losartan And Armour Thyroid
Question: I take lorsatan 50-12.5mg and Armour Thyro 30 grain every day. I accidentally took my meds twice- what should I do? Is it okay to go to bed if i feel numbness in my arms?
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Numbness in arms is not something that should be ignored. Please call your family doctor or go to the emergency room.
It is possible it may turn out to be something as simple as temporary numbness that normal people occasionally experience if they have inadvertently applied pressure on their limbs ('leg slept off' feeling). However other potentially serious and worrisome causes must be ruled out by proper evaluation which would include a thorough physical examination.
Also keep an eye on your blood pressure today. A double dose of armour is also undesirable because as it is armour is not the best way to manage an under-active thyroid.
