What Causes Dizziness While Suffering From Graves Disease?

I have Graves disease, i ve had the radioactive iodine treatment to kill the tyroid, i m on Levoxyl for life. Over the 7 yrs treated & diagnosed i ve had many issues, heart palpitations, increased heart rate, hand tremors. In december, i had my gulbladder & most of my bile ducts removed whole. My question is, at work & home I experience alot of exhaustion quickly, over the yrs its been getting worst as far as how fast I feel week or tired. I work in a kitchen, averaging 115-130 degree s next to the oven s ect, and can barely work a hour without taking a break. Is this the graves disease, should I be in the heat like this?

Hi,

This is the effect of low thyroid hormones in the blood. You should check your thyroid hormone levels as soon as possible. Your medication seems not to be effective.

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