hi

im newly diagnosed with underactive thyroid. my antibodies are 541 and t3 level is 7 and t4 level is 10.

started on 25 levothyroxine but stopped it after a week as having too many palpitations, doc gonna start me again in 3mths. do the side effects ease as felt wors on the meds. still stupidly tired tho.

Welcome to the forum, Teddy17.

Can you post your TSH result and the lab ref ranges for T3 and T4? The ranges are the figures in brackets after results. They vary from lab to lab so without them I can't tell whether your T3 and T4 levels are high or low.

hi thankyou for replying. just had my b12 done was 209 and ferritin was ok according to docs no action needed. retest for thyroid in 2mths then will prob try levo, wondered if i need to take beta blockers or something to slow the heart rate down as that was what made me feel so ill on them that i stopped taking them. dont know how long it takes forthings to settle.

thanks i will ask for a print out when i go next, but not holding out for help so far as iron levels go as last year b12 was 150 and doc said its not low enough for them to be able to afford to treat it. looks like im gona have to get multivits or something to self medicate
