Help 😣

[jobudd]

I've been on levothyroxine since 2003 but over the last 2~3 years I have suffered a lot with missed heartbeats and my medication has had to be adjusted up and down. it usually gets worse when the doctor puts my medication up. I am getting worried and fed up. I have now been having g these missed beats all day every day for 2 weeks, I'm sure it's the medication again but my doctor wants to wait a few more weeks before doing a blood test.. It's ruining my life 😕

Sounds like your doctor is dosing by the TSH! That is absolutely the wrong thing to do, and keeps the patient sick. Do you get print-outs of your results? If so, post them here with the ranges. Tests should be done six weeks after starting a new dose. No point in testing before because the results won't be accurate. And leaving it longer than 8 weeks could make you feel worse.
