Can u show signs of hyper although u more likely hypo

[HIFL]

Yes. The body secretes noradrenaline to compensate for lack of thyroid hormone. Body temperature would be the best way to tell whether you're hyper or hypo: tiredthyroid.com/feeling-hy...

[Hidden in reply to HIFL]

Yep - especially common symptoms which can occur to hyper or hypo people are insomnia, palpitations, pain (in all kinds of seemingly unrelated places).

At the start of my B&R treatment for Graves, every time I needed an increase in my thyroxine I got palpitations again. I thought I was going hyper again until some wise person on here told me some symptoms are shared by both hyper and hypo. Sure enough when my levo was increased the palos etc disappeared then came back four to six weeks later when I needed yet another increase. Like you say damn Graves - things do get better eventually though.

Go by how you feel not test results. Everybody is different and the tests are just that - tests.
