Can an underactive thyroid cause stomach issues, abnormal bleeding, confusion, and headaches, and will taking thyroid medication cure all of these symptoms, especially since my stomach medicine Ganaton Total is causing me headaches?
Hello. Yes, an underactive thyroid can certainly cause slowed digestion, abnormal bleeding, confusion, and headaches. While starting thyroid hormone replacement should greatly improve these symptoms as your levels normalize, it may not cure everything immediately. Regarding your stomach medication, Ganaton Total, headaches are indeed a known side effect of this medicine. I highly recommend discussing these symptoms with your doctor. They can monitor your thyroid levels and safely adjust your stomach medication to help you feel much better. You are doing the right thing by paying close attention to your body, and we will get this sorted out.
