Heart palpitations

[Itileguy]

After working my way up to 90mg of np thyroid

Then added another 15 mg after 6 weeks my blood results are

Tsh 0.107 0.450- 4.500

Ft4 0.87 0.82 - 1.77

Ft3 3.0 2.0 - 4.4

I was feeling great energy and all

Then a week later I had woke up to heart palpitations with heart rate 104 to 99 for 24 hours

Do you think I need to decrease by 15 mg?

I would say you need to increase. Your FT3 isn't even mid-range. And palps can be a symptom of under-medication.

I take it those labs are on 1 3/4 grains, yes?

Yes

I also started Testosterone Cypionate injections for low t and post menopause

[greygoose in reply to Itileguy]

I'm not sure but I don't think testosterone injections cause palps. More likely to be under-medication. You just need a higher level of FT3.

Do you have hashis? If so, maybe your thyroid joined in and that caused you to be over-medicated for a while. I had a flare like this once though it lasted longer and I had to come off the meds to calm my heart down in the end.

I wouldn’t increase until I was sure this wasn’t the cause - it’s scary to have a racing heart. If those blood tests were done during those 24hrs then you could, but otherwise you don’t know really. This is why medication is so difficult to stabilise if you have hashis. I’d be tempted to wait awhile before increasing to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Just my thoughts. 🤸🏿‍♀️🥛
