[Tjeyar]

Hi,I am grave disease hyperthyroidism patient for one year.Now I have been prescribed Levothyroxine-125mg and Carbimazole/Neo marcazole-10mg.After Increasing medicines I feel little bit nervous about my heart.Because Due to my Job(Its little bit hard),I feel pain in my heart.Could anyone tell me what’s wrong with my treatment ?Thanks

Pls do consult the doctor tjeyar. Anything to do with the heart could be or become something more serious.

Have it checked out so u can ascertain if the problem is with your heart or something else.

When u have graves, stress, whether physical or mental, can directly affect the heart or indirectly via other organs which have a connection to the heart. Some times symptoms in the gut can mimic heart symptoms. Propranolol may help depending on the diagnosis.

Hi Yjeyar, sorry you’re feeling rough, compared to how I was treated for Graves you seem an awful lot of levothyroxine and not a lot of carbimazole.

I know no two people are the same but when I was being treated for Graves I always took 40mcg carbinazole to wipe out my thyroid and over the year I was being treated I started off on 25mcg levothyroxine and never took more than 100mcg.

It might be worth seeing your doctor or phoning your endocrinologist and hopefully they can hurry along your test results. You might need your dose adjusted.

The slightly strange dosing may be making you overmedicated, so you may be getting hyper symptoms.

How much anti-thyroid did you start out on ? Has it been reduced ?

Heart issues, especially rapid beating, are common with Graves’, and quite often we are offered beta-blockers to help with the symptoms. However as thyroid levels come back within range, it’s less likely that being hyperthyroid, and the associated racing metabolism, would be causing this. Hopefully, you’ve explained the symptoms to your doctor. Have you had a blood pressure test ?

By the way, where are you ? Presumably not in the U.K. if you’ve been on neomercazole.

My daughter had a very high/fast thyroid,her heart was racing soo fast she went to emergency. They put her on medication, had side effects. Told her she had to radiate her thyroid, but she changed her diet started taking Detoxadine and stem cell capsules. She feels better and no medication. I wish you the best in your recovery.

Do u also take metoprolol. I also have the same as u. I take that and methimazole for the thyroid.

[Tjeyar in reply to Espisnowwoman]

No

[Espisnowwoman in reply to Espisnowwoman]

U do know that graves disease and high blood pressure go hand n hand.

Hi tjeyar i have the same auto immune disease u have. I have been sick with it for 22 years and i have done alot of research and learned alot. With graves disease u have to be born with the gene and trauma or stress sets it off. I have been close to death from graves disease. I live in the u.s.a i have some foundations that u contact for infirmation if u want the information please feel free to contact me.

Thanks for your reply

My endo told me that graves affects more women then men. 99%of women do get over it but 1% dont and i fall in the one percent. I was 6 weeks away from death when i found out what was wrong with. U can die from it if u dont get proper treatment. I had every symptom except the goiter and bulging eyes.

[Tjeyar in reply to Espisnowwoman]

I have every symptoms and also one side left eye only bulging

[Espisnowwoman]

Do u have the goiter to? That means swollen thyroid. Graves is an auto immune disease that means its in the blood. Do u suffer from fatigue to?

[Espisnowwoman]

It took my endo a whole year to get my thyroid level even.he had to keep adjusting my doses of methimazole. I went to the lab at 2 times a week for a year. U can also get high blood pressure and diabetes and loose ur teeth to. I have lost over half of my teeth but iam in my 50's and i also have a gum disease that was passed down to me from my mom.

[Espisnowwoman]

On ur bulging eye that i dont have so i would suggest to to see an eye doctor. I dont know if surgery would correct or not. Eye doctors here in the u.s.a know about graves .
