Anyone on here suffers from HYPOTHYROIDISM?? im convinced i have it because lately ive been having a slow heart rate and i have extreme ANXIETY and i cant swallow sometime but once i go to the ER all symptoms disappear and theyll sayits anxiety i just cant believe them anymore

Have a look at the link for symptoms. I can't see a slow heartbeat there. You would also have a number of symptoms not just one. I have borderline hypothyroidism and have to have blood tests every 3 months. My symptoms were loss of body hair (very noticable), lethargy, fatigue, muscle ache, and putting on a lot of weight. It is also rare for people your age unless there is a genetic link. I very much doubt you have it, and is almost certainly health anxiety. This produces many physical symptoms so Google these.

I totally understand. It’s hard sometimes

I too have a fear of hypothyroidism, but it is also because my mother has it. My anxiety has the physical symptoms of low blood sugar and I often convince myself hypothyroid.

I know that it is not, because if I take something fast acting for anxiety these feelings go away.

Anxiety is a nightmare because it makes you question if something else may be wrong. I am trying to do a lot of positive thinking and also just telling myself I can't control my health, but I can except it.

Someday I do ok and others wear me down.

I take med for it. Routine blood work, I think, usually checks for it.
