Hi, from the US and really glad I found this forum. My latest test show free t3 at 3.2
(2.0-4.44) My BP is usually around 130/78 or lower but my pulse rate is always over 100, even going as high as 110. Am I still hypo or is it hyper. What would make my pulse rate so high? Had thyroidectomy in 2003. Thank you, yucca

In thyroid terms a fast pulse can mean your T3 is too high, but yours is mid-range. If T3 does go too high the effects should not last more than a few hours and might be a clue that you need to reduce your dose. Other temporary causes could be anxiety, stress or high intake of caffeine. However, if this is a permanent rise, I think I would be inclined to seek medical advice.
I don't have any palps at all but did start Victoza for diabetes and this is when it seemed to spike. No, I don't have stress and actually feel pretty good. Thank you
