I was feeling pressure feeling in head not not so severe not headache fatigue muscle pain and now diagnosed with low B12 (247) and High TSH 9.47. I am scared that there is something wrong in my head. Can't focus anything as my endocrinologist gave me medicines and told me don't worry. Still i am worried about headache/pressure, anxiety depression. please help. Will I have to visit neurologist.

Hi RSD,

All are symptoms of hypothyroid which is indicated by the TSH of 9.47. The meds do not work immediately... it took me over a year to get mine regulated, however after several weeks you will start to feel better. Hang in there!

Hi RSD,

Please avoid googling your symptoms, as it always leads to more anxiety!

Instead, spend your time and energy on coping skills, such as the ones in our Resources!

I will be happy to post specific links for you at your request! Do you feel like you could benefit from some health anxiety self help...do you worry about health issues often?

...or maybe you'd like something more for general relaxation?

Let me know.:)

Try also to trust your doctor...who has told you not to worry...you can be assured that if there was anything more that needed to be addressed, you would have been given a referral to a neurologist already.

It sounds like you just need time for your medication to become therepeutic...and for you to work on the anxiety management...and you'll be feeling better soon.:)

S.C.

Working with your doctor to manage the physical issues you are experiencing... (which are SO treatable...good news!)

...and using self help (see below links) and/or therapy to work on the mental challenges of anxiety...

...will find you feeling your best, body and mind!
