Suffering From Migraine And Hyperthyroidism. Heart Pounding And Numbness In Leg. Are These Symptoms Of Thyroid?
I have had many years of migraines and a recent history of hyper versus hypothyroidism - taking no medication for either condition. I have had an ongoing problem with a sense of hearing my heart pound in my throat and head, sometimes painful, sometimes just annoying. Is this due to migraines or the thyroid? I also have numbness in my left leg all the way down to my toes - sometimes worse than at other times. The head pounding is so clear that I can count my pulse . I m an anxiety sufferer and most doctors just tell me I m feeling the effects of that. Is there another explanation? Thank you.

Hello
I dont know your age , male or female
But the description of your symptoms can be due to
Hyperthyroidism does cause palpitations , increase in blood pressure and anxiety , thyroid profile tese will be required
Pure anxiety can also cause these symptoms but i will keep this low in my differentials , psychiatrist review required
Migraine can cause , throbbing headache , palpitations , and hence anxiety in patients. Have a neurologist opinion
Echo for heart is also required , as Aortic stenosis can also cause this , but i need to know your age for that
Hope this helps
