I'm also a poor converter...am. Am now trying Synthroid and T3, I have Mitral Valve and take a beta blocker...started having more palpitations...very sensitive to T3....armor didn't work either
After 2 weeks of Cytomel 10 mcg and 50 synthroid 4 days per week and 75 3 days per week here are my numbers
RT3-16.4
Free T3-2.7
FT 4-1.39
TSH-.34
How can I balance my meds so I stop the palpitations? Also, have crazy eye twitches-3 years! Ugh I think I've been to every doctor possible to figure this out....fatigue is gone but can't kick the palps and twitching....RBC mag is 4.7 and have been trying to incr add that for 3years as well. Thx for your help!

My FT4 and FT3 results and ranges look something like this:
