: : I know dizziness can be a symptom of IBS, and I have just about every other symptom, but lately I have had SEVERE vertigo. Especially during bouts of diarrhea, but also other times. I have been under extra stress lately, and was wondering if anyone had similar problems with the dizziness, or if I was battling something else. Also, does anyone have symptoms similar to hypothyroid along with IBS symptoms? Thank you!!!

:
: I had severe vertigo and diarrhea with hyperthyroid or Graves Disease. I have hypthyroid symptoms with IBS, i.e. cold all the time. Definitly have your thyroid checked!

Angie:

Did they SAY that true, room spinning vertigo, is caused from having Graves??

I'e had it several times over the last 8 years, and still get it in small amounts, which is STILL enough to freak me out, even if it lasts only seconds!! I also have had my thyroid checked a lot, but nothing shows up. Which are the T's you're supposed to have checked to DEFINITELY see if your thyroid is high or low. BTW, I take Birth Control pills, which I was told last time alter the results.

Thanks,
Katherine
