I've been on thyroid medication for about 10-12 years now, taking 50mg. I'm considering switching to ayurvedic treatment instead. Is that a safe switch to make? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
Please continue on thyroxine tablets. It is better.

I've been feeling dizzy all the time and really weak for the past 15-20 days. I'm diabetic, and my PP is usually around 100, but my fasting varies between 200-250. Im on Piosys 30 mg once daily at breakfast around 8 a.m., Eurepa 0.5 four times a day, Vobit twice a day, and Basalog at 10 units around 10 p.m. I also take CTD for blood pressure. I tried Stugeron for 20 days, but it didnt help. Can you suggest something for the dizziness and weakness? Its becoming a big issue.
Your sugar levels are very high and may be your BP has increased.
