Question : I have recently undergone a thyroidectomy for follicular cancer. I've been experiencing symptoms simular to Graves disease. Could this be causing my symptoms or could parathyriod be the culprit? My symptoms include: anxiety, weakness, fatigue, shakiness, lightheaded/dizziness, headaches, chest discomfort/shortness of breath sometimes, and feeling like i'm going to pass out!! Very scared!!
