Hospital visit.

[BabsLito]

On Friday I went into the hospital with chest pain after 3 days of antibiotics. I was pale, shaking, cold and hot and I thought I was having a heart attack.

At the hospital I was given diazepam and told my heart is fine but my blood pressure was too high and to calm down so they could do other tests so I ended up doing all the blood tests and they said if my thyroid tests came back abnormal that I'd need to speak to my GP's practice.

Spoke to her not much information was sent through. They only tested my TSH which was high but she also found my white blood cell count is high and trying to fight something.

This is why I haven't been around for the last couple of days. When I get home I should have the remaining blood tests which I will post online.

At this point I have no idea. What is wrong with me.

Sorry to hear this - must be very frightening, especially at the moment. You know a high TSH isn't good - but hopefully you will get your other blood results soon. Meantime, try not to panic. Electronic (socially distancing correct) hugs from the south coast x

I have no idea what it all. Means but I am searching for answers and pushing for tests. Today before my blood work ill be asking the surgery what the blood work specifics are and bring my previous blood back with me. Will have them later on today but yeah... I'm scared specially because hashimoto's is something that gets so Misdiagnosed and ignored that I'm just hopeless feeling like no primary doctor cares to admit they are out of their scope here. Dr Hill seems to be caring for this a bit more. But I am. Now considering my own private doctor.
