Could my ongoing constipation and constant tiredness be caused by my thyroid condition or by taking Meftal Spas for period pain, and what steps should I take next to treat this?
Your constant tiredness and constipation are classic symptoms of an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). While Meftal Spas (which contains dicyclomine) can sometimes cause constipation, it is less likely to cause ongoing fatigue if you only take it occasionally for period pain. I recommend speaking with your doctor to check your thyroid levels (TSH), as your thyroid medication may just need a slight adjustment. In the meantime, try increasing your daily fiber intake, staying well-hydrated, and getting gentle exercise to help with digestion.
