Please help I'm so worried I don't know what to do.
My thyroid tests came back indicative of hypothyroidism, which others have agreed on here. I built up to 2 grains of NDT Thiroyd. Then my results end of May went much worse:
TSH 0.07 LOW (REF: 0.27-4.2)
T4 Total: 49 LOW (REF: 64.5-142)
Free T4: 9.79 LOW (REF: 12-22)
Free T3: 3.35 (REF: 3.1-6.8)
Now I was worried about simply increasing my medication, as I felt uncomfortable that my results before this were NO WHERE near as bad! and I felt that by self medicating I had made my results worse! i.e. I had caused supected hypothyroidism to become hypothyroidism....plus I'd been taking iodine and after some reading thought maybe that had caused it? so now stopped that.
Anyway I started increasing from 2 grains but felt unwell and I've been getting really really uncomfortable throat discomfort low done in my throat which feels like someone pressing on my windpipe - this is really really worrying to the point I want to come off all medication strating tomorrow and see what my thyroid does....and if in 6 weeks I'm having symptoms, then I will go to my doctors and get an official diagnosis rather than medicating myself - I feel like I am ruining my thyroid and causing some serious damage messing around self-medicating.
Please has anyone experienced this throat discomfort, windpipe blockage feeling, someone pressing on your throat feeling?
Also please advise what will happen if i stop meds tomorrow - anyone have any ACTUAL experience?
Thank you
