Vertigo after Thyroidectomy?
| Mon, 10-30-2006 - 2:52pm |
I had a very successful thyroidectomy 4 months ago, however, I am now experiencing sporadic but severe episodes of vertigo. They are short in duration, however, are starting to occur more frequently.
A family member who suffers from B12 deficiency, which is a known cause of vertigo, heard that B12 absorption is a common problem after thyroidectomy.
Has anyone else heard of this or experienced vertigo after their thyroidectomy? I am currently taking only my daily Synthroid and a multi-vitamin.

Hi Octorora,
My partial thyroidectomy was a long time ago but I don't recall any vertigo problems.
