Hello Itsonlykel and welcome to the forum ;

What have you been diagnosed with and do you have copies of the blood test results showing numbers, ranges, antibody levels and abbreviations ?

You are legally entitle to copies of all your blood test results and maybe can access these through your doctor's surgery or NHS service.

If we have more information we will be able to help you and as ling has already mentioned - should you redirect your questions onto the link offered there are more forum members there, than here.

I'm with Graves Disease and was on Carbimazole, and I had RAI thyroid ablation back in 2005 and now manage lingering Graves, thyroid eye disease and hypothyroidism.

Ho. Welcome. What is your heart rate. When mine was over 100 and I got anxious then my blood pressure would rise, that’s why I have asked about heart rate. Cheers

I agree with NIKEGIRL when my heart rate was over hundred my blood pressure would also rise. My doctor suggested Propranolol but I decided against that because it is a beta blocker but a lot of people do find that helps. Once your levels go down your heart rate and blood pressure should lower which mine did.

Could i bother you asking why beta blocker is bad? Why did you against it? Appreciate your time!
