Palpitations, anxiety, shakey

[robynrose67]

Hi guys, wondering if you could give me a bit of advice.

Feeling very on edge at the moment. I have been struggling with anxiety for a while now. I have an underactive thyroid I take 100mg and 75mg alternate days. I have suffered in the past with palpitations due to changes in medication where my levels have fluctuated. I was in hospital last month with palpitations and they did an ecg and bloodtests and couldn't find anything but fast heartrate. Thet said they think it is anxiety and gave me a tablet and sent me home. They checked my thyroid and said my thyroid is fine. They have done a 24hour tape and still waiting for results. And going for an echo. I feel panicked about anything to do with doctors and hospitals now and just feel constantly on edge about palpitaions. I feel i'm really aware of it now and it's making me feel worse and confused. I'm starting cbt next week which has taken a long time for me to be seen.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

We really need to see your test results to be able to comment. Can you post results, with reference ranges (they vary from lab to lab) for:

TSH

FT4

FT3

Thyroid antibodies

and always useful, because nutrient levels need to be optimal for thyroid hormone to work properly:

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin
