Ever since I was taken to hospital for palpitations and intermittent chest pain a week ago, I have been intermittently responsibly my hands and when I spoke to the cardiologist last week ,he said that my T4 was high and that I was probably over medicated but I doubt they checked my T3 levels. I know that palpitations and shakiness are symptoms of hyperthyroidism and am now really worried. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My hands shake permanently since I was a wee boy, my parents never got it sorted at all...... I passed A1 fit for the RAF back in the 60s..... I’m 76 now and still my hands shake..... I never learnt to do joined up writing because of my shaking hands.
I’m sorry, but I cant give you any advice!
I'm sorry you are worried but apologies I don't understand the condition T3 and T4 so I would say it would be better to speak to your doctor. I do think this would be the safest option as someone on here could possibly give you the wrong advice which wouldn't be good.
I really hope that you get this sorted.
Take care
Hi sobs1962, I'm not sure we are the best community to be giving you advice. I guess you already belong to the Thyroid UK community at HealthUnlocked and that may be more useful to you. But in any case, it's always best to contact a medical professional, like your GP surgery when you are worried. We could only offer guesses, which aren't good enough. Take care and best wishes.

Sorry think I posted on wrong page.
Have you talked to your doctor about hypoglycemia ( low blood sugar)?
Don't know if it could be that, I don't eat much in the day,mostly in evening but have really strong cravings for sweet sugary things and have had for the last 6 months.
When was your last doctor’s appointment?
I had a phone conversation with a doctor from GP surgery on Monday and told him I was concerned I might have B12 deficiency and that might be what was causing my palpitations intermittent chest pain for which I was taken to hospital by ambulance in early hours of Monday morning and my heart rate stayed at around 130 for about 51/2 hours altogether and was a scary experience. They did bloods mainly to check my heart and everything was fine, but I had a phone consultation with a cardiologist on Tuesday and I have an appointment in July to get a 24hour monitor fitted to check my heart. Cardiologist said they checked thyroid bloods (probably only TSH and T4) but seems to think I may be over medicated. GP prescribed me Cyanocobalamin 50mg and I've taken those for the last 4 days. That's all, for now anyway,I won't get a face to face appointment with anyone for at least the next 2 months,so nothing more I can do.
Do you feel okay now?
I'm still having palpitations and shaking of hands but I suppose I have no choice but to wait till I can actually see a doctor hopefully the endocrinologist in a few months and hope things don't go downhill rapidly .
Can you please do a virtual appointment soon with your doctor? Call them this week and talk to them saying what you told me?
Hi,
If you post on the Heart Issues page you will receive lots of sensible advice from very knowledgeable folk who have all been there. Good Luck.
