Carotid Arteries' Relationship to Thyroid?

[Guest guest]

I think I posted something general about this a very long time ago, but this gives very detailed descriptions of all the relationships of all these blood vessels to all the neck structures, etc......What I'm saying is that this makes us think of so many possibilities when it comes to ongoing brain fog, a feeling of a lack of oxygen (don't want to scare anyone, but hey, we need to know, if we're still having these problems even after reaching the right hormone levels), and generally feeling fatigued. I'm just throwing this out there, when this is the case. As you read, you're probably going to see these possibilities, as many of us with a very distorted thyroid, that has remained sick for way too long and has a very enlarged odd shape to it-------and how this may affect some of us. There's not very much room in a person's neck for all of this, and when the thyroid has enlarged or has nodules in certain places, then why WOULDN'T there be a "main circulation" problem. And doctors say so often "take a pill a day and it'll all go away" ??????? This is more than serious business, when you're talking about the two main arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the brain. BTW, I ran across this link when I was looking for possible explanations as to why so many thyroid people have earringing. It was when I got off into other reasons other than actual ear disease, that I found this. But then, if it's already related and so close by, couldn't it also cause the oxygen supply to be haywire to the ears, as well as the brain, IF the shape of the thyroid was involved here. Maybe THAT'S why so many of us Hashi's people have earringing and hearing disturbances eventually, if the disease is not treated properly over a lot of time, i.e., TSH not suppressed, allowing the thyroid to do massive destruction to itself, i.e., distorted size and shape. You can see one of my artieries on the left side of my neck. That's been there for more than 10 yrs or so.

This makes sense to me.  I have kind of a look of fat on the sides of my neck, not in the front, so didn't think it was related to my thyroid... hmmm, maybe it is?Jackie~I think I posted something general about this a very long time ago, but this gives very detailed descriptions of all the relationships of all these blood vessels to all the neck structures, etc......What I'm saying is that this makes us think of so many possibilities when it comes to ongoing brain fog, a feeling of a lack of oxygen (don't want to scare anyone, but hey, we need to know, if we're still having these problems even after reaching the right hormone levels), and generally feeling fatigued.  I'm just throwing this out there, when this is the case.  As you read, you're probably going to see these possibilities, as many of us with a very distorted thyroid, that has remained sick for way too long and has a very enlarged odd shape to it-------and how this may affect some of us.  There's not very much room in a person's neck for all of this, and when the thyroid has enlarged or has nodules in certain places, then why WOULDN'T there be a "main circulation" problem.  And doctors say so often "take a pill a day and it'll all go away"   ???????  This is more than serious business, when you're talking about the two main arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the brain.  BTW, I ran across this link when I was looking for possible explanations as to why so many thyroid people have earringing.  It was when I got off into other reasons other than actual ear disease, that I found this.  But then, if it's already related and so close by, couldn't it also cause the oxygen supply to be haywire to the ears, as well as the brain, IF the shape of the thyroid was involved here.  Maybe THAT'S why so many of us Hashi's people have earringing and hearing disturbances eventually, if the disease is not treated properly over a lot of time, i.e., TSH not suppressed, allowing the thyroid to do massive destruction to itself, i.e., distorted size and shape.  You can see one of my artieries on the left side of my neck.  That's been there for more than 10 yrs or so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_artery     www.jordanreimer.comSupport My Music....Jordan Reimer Music

I don't know if this answers anyone's questions about this. YES There is a an absolute cause and effect with high blood pressure and low thryoid. Along the way a person also usually has high cholesteral and in the end, corotid artery surgery if left untreated. As per usual in this instance your typical cardiologist would never thing to test the thryoid as the basis for the condition leading to such a surgery. ~E:) Ken & Jackie Reimer wrote: This makes sense to me.

Did you look at those pictures on the site? Scary to me. All that stuff runs into and wraps around the thyroid arteries, if you look at the details of it. I have pictures of a big goiter on one side or a nodule sticking into my carotid.

Yes, that's absolutely true, but that's not what the basis of this article is about. It is about the close proximity of the carotid arteries to the thyroid and the thyroid veins and artieries, and also a close relationship, physically to many other things. Mastoids, inner ears, etc.... We're talking here about possibly losing oxygen to the brain or maybe to the inner ears (?) having to do with the thyroid's relationship to these blood vessels, i.e., they may actually get the life choked out of them by a distorted, strange-shaped thyroid gland. Did you see the pictures to the right side? You know our whole head is "fed" by these things.

I didn't get a chance to read through the

article...admittedly. THAT sounds very interesting

though. The problems caused by a thryoid that has

grown passed its proper space can't be good. I've

even read about them, floating down into the chest

area and making someone think they have heartburn,

when in fact they have a runaway thryoid growth.

The neck is a tricky place and I find that I'm looking

at everyone's neck all the time now..and wonder if

they think I'm strange or something..

One day...a neck will be just a neck again hopefully.

Right now...its a topic I can't get off my mind.

~E:)

PS..my mom had both her carotids cleaned out. TWO

nice scars going down her neck. Luckily she healed

well and still looks beautiful.
