I Just Found Out I Have Thyriod Issues
Question:
I’ve had allergies all my life and my MD has checked my thyroid many times but it is not low. He does a TSH blood test and checks my glands in my neck manually. He is an Endocine Md that specializes in the thyroid gland. I’ve had a biopsy and a scan too. shirley

I was wondering if being hyperthyriod could be causing my Sinusitis/Rhinitis? I’ve had sinus problems moslty rhinitis for over 5 years now. 3 sinus infections as well. I was wondering if anyone knows of some sort of corilation between the two diseases? I’ve ony noticed the thyriod symptoms for about 3 months now. David Sacramento, CA

"Hyperthyroidism"??? Doesn’t sound logical. Now *hypothyroidism* might possibly lower your resistance to infections. But not hyperthyroidism. — Steven D. Litvintchouk Email: sdlit…@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me.

I have suggested many times to people here that they have their thyroid checked because it can be a casue of sinusitis. As Steven says, sinusitis is more likely to develop in people who are hypothryoid than hyperthryoid. However, hyperthyroidism might exacerbate allergies and hence sinusitis also indirectly…..
