A: if you lived in canada you would be referred to an endocrenologist who would know what to do, but its your health so if you can afford it then you should see one even if you have to pay.

Q: Can Hyperthyroid symptoms sometimes make u think your having a heart related issue?
I have thyroid cancer and am on suppressive therapy and my TSH is real low (<0.006) and my free T4 is 2.2H. I have been having all the symptoms of hyperthyroidism which leads to panic attacks which then I get tense in my cheast area and think I am having a heart attack. I also have been getting bouts of consectutive heart palpitations, breathlessness , panicky, shakey, and severe dry eyes.

A: Hypothyroidism brings with it a multitude of complications. Some of the most common
symptoms linked to hypothyroidism are subsequently delineated:
• Cardiovascular Change
Individuals with hypothyroidism generally exhibit a low pulse in the range of 60
b.p.m. or less and, in prolonged cases, cholesterol levels begin to compound as a
result of poor metabolic regulation and exercise. The combination of these two
factors aggravates the coronary arteries and puts the cardiovascular system under
a great deal of stress. In extreme cases, the compositional muscle fibers of the
heart will weaken, resulting in cardiac arrest and death

BETTER YOU TAKE IMMEDIATE OPINION FROM A CARDIOLOGIST.

Q: Why am I having symptoms of hyperthyroid disease?
Why am I having the symptoms of hyperthyroid disease, when I had my right thyroid gland removed 30 years ago, because of a tumor.? Altho, I have mentioned to my doctor the possibility, that I might have another tumor on the left thyroid gland, he doesn’t seem to listen and is treating me for other things he thinks might be causing these horrible symptoms. In the meantime, I’m in misery.

A: go see another doctors you should never trust just one doctor they want you to keep coming back to them so they can collect that money

Q: Hyperthyroid symptoms information please?
i have hyperthyroid but my symptoms are more like… sometimes i feel fear, i feel sleepy and tired almost like my blood sugar was low, sometimes quite irritated in general i feel weird. its almost like i am more hypo than anything. are this normal symptoms?

A: You are describing hyperthyroid symptoms to a “T”.

Are you getting treatment??

Q: What do i have if i have HypERthyroid symptoms with high TSH level.?
I quite smoking a month ago because i could not breath properly. I become very short of breath and am now coughing up the gunk in my lungs. I a very shaky with hot flashes, no fever, and feel cloudy in my head. What is wrong with me??? Please help!!!

A: Well I can’t really tell you what’s wrong. Your going to want to go and see a doctor so he can go and take a look.

Q: Which L-carnitine is best for relieving hyperthyroid symptoms?
L-carnitine fumarate is supposed to benefit the body most & L-carnitine acetyl benefits the mind. Because of that I would think that the L-carnitine fumarate would work best but maybe not. Nothing I’ve read has been specific about which L-carnitine to use for hyperthyroid only that it may prevent it or relieve symptoms.

A: If you’re looking for a good brand, Montiff is an excellent choice- it’s almost pharmaceutical grade. Stay away from the generic brand name stuff you see at health food stores.

Q: I am pregnant with twins and I am having symptoms of hyperthyroid. Would excersice help?
I am about 16 weeks preg. I am always tired. I sometimes feel like its hard to breath, and I also feel like my heart is racing even if I am just lying down. I have had blood test and do not have the results in yet. I just cant take feeling so tired anymore. What can I do? Would excersice help?

A: Im not carrying twins, but I feel like im going through the same thing. I am also 16 weeks preg. Sometimes my heart feels like its pumping alot harder, and actually feels like its skipping a beat. Im always tired too…I hoped it would go away in the 2nd trimester, but it seems like its here to stay! Ugh!! I might start walking to get frsh air and maybe get me more energized, hopefully that will work. Goodluck on your pregnancy!! Im a twin myself, enjoy!! )

Q: I have all the symptoms of a hyperthyroid condition… How do you know if you have it?
I was at the doctors yesterday and it was mentioned (b/c of my insomnia and constant elevated body temperature – not fever related), but they never thought to do a blood test. I came home and looked up the symptoms on 10 different websites, and it practicaly spells out my life health issues! How do I go about asking my doctor to do this blood test without sounding like a hyperchondriact?

A: You don’t need to worry about sounding like a hypochondriac. Insist on the blood test. You are the boss of your own health. Screw what other people might think.
You need to get the bood test; if you do have hyperthyroidism, you need to get it under control to avoid damage to your organs, such as the heart.

Q: Can someone have all the symptoms of hyperthyroid yet be diagnosed as hypo?

A: A LOT of the symptoms can be described for both it just depends on the person. As long as that is how your levels read than yes it is possible.

Q: i have almost all the symptoms of hyperthyroid even my doctors thought i had it but all the tests are negative?
what could it be?

A: It could be that you had the wrong test. You need free T3 and free T4.

Q: what does 0.68 for tsh level mean.my doctor says it is close to hyperthyroid but I have symptoms of hypothyroi?
I am very overweight and getting worse. My hair is thin. I had problems with my periods for years. I took hormone pills had a d n c and then had a hysterectomy because they couldn’t figure out what the problem was.

A: It’s now more than six years since the experts have established that this new, narrower TSH normal range of 0.3 to 3.0 is a more accurate one, and recommended that it become the standard of practice. Yet, the dithering continues. Some doctors use the new range for diagnosis and therapeutic management — others refuse to consider anything unless it’s marked “High” or “Low” on laboratory reports

Remember that you can have both hypo and hyper.Heres a statement from someone that had both.
Both Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease antibodies, which puts the thyroid into a push-pull situation, where it cycles up and down through hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Hashi dominate with Graves’ secondary or Graves’ dominate with Hashi secondary, are people with equal amounts of both stimulating and blocking TSH receptor antibodies.

A person may present features of one of these disorders at one time and features of the other at another time. However, they both can’t present features of both at the same time. Therefore, treatment is at the moment of the prevailing disorder.

Some even believe that hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, including Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, as different phases of the same disease. Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, idiopathic thyroid failure and Hashitoxicosis are all closely associated and sometimes overlapping syndromes that cause symptoms of thyroid disease. .Goe to my source , it really is interesting. I really took time to look this up , so I really hopes this helps.

Q: possible to have LO TSH,NORM FT4,BUT NO hyperthyroid symptoms,ONLY hypothyroid symptoms? my labwk is erratic?
i have always been hypothyroid since i got diagnosed 15 yrs ago… i have NEVER had a labresult showing i was hyperthyroid… BUT for some fluke reason ??? , i’ve had a cpl labtests come up with a VERY LO TSH… range about 0.001 – 0.020 BUT have always had NORMAL free T3/T4… i do NOT have nor have ever had any symptoms of hyperthyroid…on the contrary i know i need my synthroid increased… been 2 yrs past due… i know my body better than any dr. so i know what my symptoms are trying to tell me… but this dr. ONLY looks at the labwk with NO INPUT from me at all… consequently i have gotten pretty sickly from not only not having my synthroid increased (like i said, the labwk is unusual for me…but i know my symptoms as in the past 15 yrs or so)… BUT this dr. decreased my meds… i am suffering from increased hypothyroid symptoms to the point where i cant get out of bed somedays…. anyone know of having tsh tests that are in contradiction w/ your symptoms?

A: Are you on any other drugs? I know my thyroid goes really out of wak like that when I’m on different prescriptions. Also, watch the amount of calcium you take in a day. I was told to never take my synthroid with any form of calcium. I guess this coates the thyroid medication causing it to not work correctly. Sorry, I’m not a Dr nor do I ever wish to be, but I can tell you it happens to me frequently. I’m so screwed up that when I am tired and want to sleep I’m wide awake and unable to! I would maybe try checking out a new Dr. for a second opinion. Good Luck!

Q: Mom, 5′4″, 106lbs, hyperthyroid symptoms but bloodwork fine?
I lost a lot of weight, maybe because I’m still nursing my toddler. Before pregnancy I used to weigh 128lbs but was diagnosed border hypotyroid (runs in my family).
Now my thyroid seems fine.
Has anyone gone through this?
It’s enlarged though.

A: I’ve never had any thyroid problems but I lost 15 pounds more than my prepregnancy weight just by breastfeeding. No exercise or anything. It’s wonderful. 128 to 113, and I’m 5′ 4″ also.

If your bloodwork is fine then don’t worry!

A: The docs I work for always err on the side of caution and tell me that yes you can be symptomatic- because that may be REALLY low for you… you need to get to an Endo!

Q: What are the symptoms of hyperthyroid?

A: The thyroid runs our metabolism. Being hotter than others, more appetite, but can loose weight even though they are eating more. Trembling of the hands, hard or irregular heartbeat, fatigue at the end of the day but have trouble sleeping, irritable. Go to the site, Endocrineweb.com if it doesn’t pop up to this hyperthyroid topic, search for it. Also in the search block you can type symptoms of hyperthroid.
