I just had a physical and my TSH levels were high. I just went through a break up, and I have had a radical diet change to a low carb/calorie meals. I have increased my physical activity drastically which has been very hard. My body has suffered from it. One incident happened after a pick up soccer game, where I was bed ridden that night from being soar and dehydrated. My colon or sphincter was feeling some discomfort and I was having a bowel movement ever few minutes for a 24 hr period. Following bouts with sleeplessness and and night sweats. All my bowl movements were solid and i was surprised almost all my visits had decent substance some of the movements were green in color. No diarrhea or blood. I have lost over 10 pounds in less than a month, and I have to say the diet change is the biggest factor. I experience a lot of fatigue and confusion, which is dangerous for me because im an Engineer working on machinery. Also I recently quit smoking, and am on the patch. My question is should I continue eating these low carb/low calorie meals 3 times a day and hope my body is just balancing out...or should i go back to the bad diet i had before. I was an athlete when i was younger, and im just trying to get back there. This high TSH level worries me because I can tell that my body is not reacting well. I am trying to make a radical change in my life, and am under stress because of it. I am 35 and have had borderline blood pressure. I am trying to make an appointment with a specialist but it is difficult because of where i live in Hawaii. I have full coverage.
