I have this vibration in my left chest. Not a heart flutter, no pain, and no shortness of breath. Comes and goes. Any ideas

Hi Fion. Looking through your previous posts, B12 deficiency has been suggested before and it looks as though you have neurological symptoms which should be investigated and treated without delay, as "there is a critical window of opportunity before permanent cognitive changes or injury result".

I'm not sure whether this helps but it confirms the connection between PA/B12 deficiency and thyroid disease:

This link, as well as this BMJ latest research document, has lots of information as well as advice on writing to your GP:

Summary

* Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common but serious condition

* Clinical presentation may not be obvious thus leading to complex issues around diagnosis and treatment.

* There is no ideal test to define deficiency and therefore the clinical condition of the patient is of utmost importance."

* There is evidence that new techniques, such as measurement of holotranscobalamin and methylmalonic acid levels seem useful in more accurately defining deficiency.

* If clinical features suggest deficiency, then it is important to treat patients to avoid neurological impairment even if there may be discordance between test results and clinical features.

It is important to recognise that clinical features of deficiency can manifest without anaemia and also without low serum vitamin B12 levels. In these cases, treatment should still be given without delay."

Have you had your B12 tested Barbie, as this could be one of the symptoms, which are quite subtle sometimes and deficiencies begin to appear in the cerebral spinal fluid below 550 pg/ml.

You probably already know that thyroid disease and B12 deficiency are often interlinked and symptoms overlap.
