TSH was high twice (6.8
and 7.0) while she was on the
YAZ. After stopping
YAZ for 2 weeks, TSH dropped to 2.8. But while she was in the ER for severe respiratory problems her TSH was 7.2. Can stress/illness as well as estrogen (YAZ) cause TSH to be elevated? Because now they are saying all is normal, there is no thyroid problem. And she still has all these horrible symptoms, fatigure being the worst, then nausea, then head tightness/pressure. Thanks.
