Totally confused......again.

Since running out of WP and going over to Nature Thyroid, around ten days ago, my heart rate has slowly climbed to the point where it’s now mostly in the high 80s or 90s. It can spike to 120 whilst sitting. My heart rate on WP was In th 60s whilst sitting. I also have a constant feeling of a very slight anxiousness. I understand rate can increase when undermedicated, but feeling cold is a sign of this for me, which I don’t.

Now I don’t know what the hell to do. Increase, decrease, stop and go back to Levo, take Levo and NDT or none of the above.

Any and all opinions, advice or otherwise very welcome.

Tachycardia and anxiety are signs of thyrotoxicosis, so you should reduce your dose quite a bit. Perhaps one or both of these NDTs are of poor quality with insufficient control?

Hi Jim.

Seems I’ve duplicated this post.

Am currently on 1 1/2 grain per day of NDT. Have no thyroid.

I wouldn't do anything until you've had some tests done.

I would agree. The only thing I’m dropping is the BP pills and going back on my original. They’d been working ok for the last couple of years.
