How To Treat Pressure And Pain In My Upper Left Abdomen With Nausea,dizziness And Fatigue While Having Hashimoto's Disease?

Good afternoon. I am a healthy 47 year old female. I have been experiencing pressure and pain in my upper left abdomen for the past month. The pain and pressure has increased and I have also been experiencing nausea, dizziness and extreme fatigue. In the past week the pain has waken me from my sleep at night.

I have been diagnosed with hashimoto's and take 0.15mg of synthroid daily. I exercise 4-5 days a week, non-smoker, good general health.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have described. The description of this pain in the abdomen is not typical and would require some more information, examination and testing to pinpoint the cause. For this, I will suggest you get evalauated by your physician.

With a persistence of fatigue though on synthroid, I will suggest that you get your TSH levels controlled to make sure you are not being under treated that may explain these symptoms.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
