Hi,
Not sure if this should be posted under 'other health discussions' or here but I had some unusual blood test results and I wondered if anyone can shed light or advise
I'm 59, post-meno, trying to balance hrt (evorel 50 patches x 2 per week and provera 5 mcg daily) with hypothyroid treatment (levothyroixine) which I've been on since June. My thyroid readings have been 'normal-ish' but I've had an awful 'phantom hangover' (like an all encompassing brain fog) for weeks and wondered if Oestrogen was blocking the uptake of Levothyroxine so (in the absence of available medical advice) I had a private blood test.
The results showed my Oestrogen levels as very high and also high Prolactin.
Could this be just too much hrt (or not enough progesterone?) And what could the Prolactin reading mean?
Getting a G.P apt will be difficult and I don't know if I'm up for the usual demoralising fobbing off, so if anyone can help at all I'd be most grateful.

I'm slightly panicking and just thinking stop the hrt.
