Is vertigo correlated with thyroid nodules?

Have you had a blood test with a vitamin profile? An imbalance in some of the minerals might point to thyroid or parathyroid related issues.
I have had a history of balance issues however I don’t know if it has anything to do with my thyroid. Have you considered going to an ENT who specializes in balance issues? The balance function testing helped identify what triggered one of my balance issues ( it was triggered by my eyes looking downward and to the right). I went to vestibular therapy and it improved. They said it could have been a side effect of a recent whiplash or just a side effect after a bad sinus/ upper respiratory infection.
Definitely worth more investigation for peace of mind.
Good luck!

Thank you! I did get a blood test and thyroid levels were normal. I do have a nodule that is TR5 on ultrasound (9 scary points) but benign on biopsies. I did see a chiropractor twice about 17 years ago and she dramatically 'adjusted' my neck saying it was backwards - it's never been the same since and I now have disc degeneration I think due to that. Brain CT and MRI showed some fluid in temporal lobe and I did see ENT who can't explain fluid, says may be from infection long ago that I have compensated for but now for some reason (menopause?) unable to compensate. I go in for a temporal bone CT scan tomorrow April 7. I'm pretty scared about living in fear of this vertigo arising. It's horrid. And I am concerned about Meclizine having read that it lower cognitive functioning. Anyone hear of that? Is that permanent? Or more like a temporary brain fog?
