Could Cold Feet, Chills, Joint Pain With Nausea Be Thyroid Storm Or Medication Related?

I am Graves Disease hyperthyroid, taking 2.5 mg. tapazole daily. For two days I ve been experiencing cold feet, chills, joint pain, nausea, and extreme fatigue. No fever. Could this be thyroid storm? Just viral? Medication related? I ve been on same dosage of tapazole for 2 yrs. with no problem.

Hello,

The symptoms can be related to a viral infection or also thyroid storm. I suggest to check the thyroid hormone levels for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the chills. I also suggest using magnesium supplement.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
