I've been taking T3 only since seeing Dr Peatfield in October last year, after having been on thyroxine for 30 years. On his advice I have gradually built up to taking 50mcg daily but I'm feeling incredibly tired all the time and having palpitations - missing beats etc and pulse raised to 80/84 bpm. I actually feel as though I'm dragging myself around and feeling light headed and occasionally dizzy.
I've tried to speak to Dr P and left messages to no avail. I'm wondering whether I need to cut back on the T3, or even introduce either T4 or some NDT into the equation to see if it makes any difference. Dr P said he thought I have conversion problems with T4 and he may be right for all I know, but I expected to feel a lot better by now than I do.
Any thoughts or advice very welcome.
Thanks
Marlene
