Hi,
I've been having on and off symptoms for a year and a half of heart flutters, very light sleep and waking very early, feeling shaky inside, feeling hot and clammy, lots of hair lose, feeling anxious, hoarseness, constipation but no weight loss. My doctor sent me to see a specialist after blood tests of free T4 24 (7.8-14.4) and TSH 0.5 (0.3-5.6). The specialist re-tested and my results were free T4 15.8 (9-22.7) TSH 0.5 said I was in the normal range and sent me home with anti-depressants.
I've carried on getting symptoms which seem to get worse if I'm stressed I've had a few more bloods done:
Dec 2013 free T4 15.5(7.8-14.4)
Jan 2013 thyroid ultra sound which they said it was slightly enlarged.
Feb 2014 free T4 13.8 (7.8-14.4) TSH 0.51 (0.3-5.6)
June 2014 free T4 15.5(7.8-14.4) TSH 0.63(0.3-5.6)
I went back to the docs after my last result as they said it was borderline and no action was required but I asked to see the specialist again but they said I'm suffering from anxiety and all my symptoms are not thyroid related. Am I right to keep pushing to see the specialist again? I've also noticed over the past 2 years I have really dry thick skin on the tops of my feet about the size of a 10pence which I think are related to thyroid too ( everyone always asks me what the marks on my feet are) xX
