Thyroid abnormalities

Hi I've just been told I have hyperthyroidism. Tsh 0.1. T4 32.3 and t3 16.5. They have prescribed propranolol 10mg 3 x a day for symptoms. Have been having trembling in legs, increased heart rate and palpitations. I'm waiting to start carbimazole 10mg 2 x a day. My question is how long does this take

I promise I'm not addicted to blood tests 😅 But....I was curious about TG antibodies and came across Randox who's prices were very cheap so I thought why not! Anyway the results came in last night and I'm not sure what to make of it all to be honest. It was only 2 weeks ago I had my bloods done and

Morning, just an update on my post yesterday. I ended up in A&E last night as I felt so poorly. My heart rate was 90 when I was lying down doing nothing. My GP had ordered urgent bloods on Wednesday which hadn’t come back before the surgery closed, thankfully they were on the system at the hospital.

My mother (92) and I (61) b@oth have underactive thyroid. Both on levo. Her GP recently doubled her daily dose to 150mcg daily due to her TSH being very high. She says she takes it regularly as my first thought was whether she had been forgetting to take it. I am completely thrown by why he would increase

Thanks to the feedback here on my first post previously( posted as twodogas), I finally have an endocrinologist booked in next week. I’ve yet to be diagnosed officially but from my lab tests and feedback I’ve received, it appears I may have hashimoto Hypothyrodism. I posted my first test results from

I was livid because no T4/T3 test had been done so I don't know what they were but on past experience, I'd guess they were on

A friend who has been in “discussions” with her GP about how proceed with her treatment has said the guidelines state TSH must be above 10 Now I know that some very silly doctors insist on waiting until levels are above 10 but do NHS guidelines really recommend that and if that’s the case why is the

I read an article recently, as in today, on the forum. where someone mentioned heart condition and linking it to thyroid. I am not yet diagnosed with hypothyroid, although after previous conversations on here believe I am. Last check was TSH just under the 5. My levels have been slowly rising since

Hello lovely people im bck again after my 4month assessment with my professor I have been taking 17 & a half mcg of T3 daily and 75mcg T4. Tests were done at the usual times advised. My professor has asked me to cut out the 2 & a half mcg T3. So now will be taking 15mcg T3 & 75mcg T4. My results were

As the title says, are there any official UK guidelines for management of thyroid nodules? I've googled but can't really find anything... I have a 3cm x 3cm colloid thyroid nodule and a few smaller colloid and spongiform nodules – seen on ultrasound after I noticed a visible lump in my neck. The consultant
