A euthyroid goitre means you have a thyroid swelling but normal levels. You clearly have abnormal high levels. Do you have Graves or was the cause not determined?
Apart from medication have other options ever been discussed?
i dont think it is graves. am going to try Surgery if possible now am preparing for national exam when i finish the exam is when i will handle this case.
what is your suggestion?how doyo.see my condition please
Why are you having surgery? I have a multinodular goiter and I have regular scans to make sure none of the nodules have got bigger etc. I intend to hold onto to my thyroid as long as I can because I have seen how other people struggle to get the correct treatment after they have had their thyroid removed.
My thyroid has multiple small nodules and is slightly enlarged. Do you have the results of the ultrasound of your thyroid to share with us? I think you are very young to think about having your thyroid removed unless it is cancerous or is interfering with your breathing etc. Just to add some people can take Carbimazole for many years and as long as they have regular blood tests are ok. I would do more research if I was you.
Here is a link to Elaine Moore's site it is full of useful information for you to read.
I have in the past when my levels were not under control and you can read my story on my profile page if you are interested. I would join Elaine's site and ask her what you have asked us and see what she says. She has helped me a lot in the past and had RAI which she regretted so she then started a support site for other sufferers.
Do you see a specialist? Or does a General family doctor treat you? You haven’t put your country in your profile. Most on this forum are from UK. Where are you?
On 6 november I had used red dyed food which contains too much iodine then after 2hours from eating i noticed palpitation and vomiting the red food i consumed. That was were the journey of began. Since 3yrs it has now relapsed
Definitely do NOT take anything with iodine in it.
It sounds like u could have some type of hyperthyroidism.
To find out, you need to have thyroid antibodies tested.
A high FT3 causes heart symptoms, which would explain the palpitations. Stress, be it mental or physical, can also cause and make symptoms worse.
You mentioned surgery in one of your replies. Before u make that decision, make sure u find out what condition have and if its manageable. A thyroidectomy is irreversible.
Lastly, dial back on the stress as much as possible. Get sufficient rest and eat a balanced diet. Stay hydrated. At the moment, do not exercise when the palpitations are still going on.
No, I have been managing it through medication carbimazole and propranolol.
I have Graves confirmed by a blood test with high TRAb antibodies.
Over the years, I have considered surgery when symptoms got particularly bad. It is a serious consideration because u cannot put back the thyroid once its cut out. But there can be serious situations when symptoms are so bad, it threatens your life or long term health, then the hard decision has to be made.
You are still young, but it sounds like u have lived with hyperthyroidism since young, so u know something about it. Research well before u make any decision.
Once your thyroid is taken out, and u become hypothyroid, that means learning to live with a different condition and u have to take thyroid hormones for life.
in your experience with thyroid pateints have met with patient with constnt palpitation and chest pain. please about how thy have managed it. am asking beqcuse i hadnt ever involved with hyperthyroid pteint soi want to know how othrs feel about this codition. note my blood pressuure is 97/69
i can feel.yur emotions thanks so.much. butam wondering why this palpitation cant be managedby my doctors yet thy are saying its due to overactive thyrod
If you are experiencing chest pains, u have to go to the hospital. You don't want it to end up as something worse that affects your heart and causes u long term health problems.
At least go and have it checked. There is a limit to which this forum can assist you, and most of us are not doctors here, so we should know our limits, and the best advice now, is to ask you to go and get professional help.
Please take care of yourself.
You can update us if u want to after u see the doctor.
See if he can find the root cause of the high FT3.
I would think if the 6 Nov iodine is the trigger, its effect should have left the body by now unless u have still been eating the food. But this iodine subject is not something I am familiar with, so can't say how it really works.
And if the 6 Nov iodine is a trigger, then there has to be a hyperthyroid condition there for it to trigger. In which case then the question becomes which condition is it? A multinodular goiter? Graves? Anything else? U did say u were fine before 6 Nov, so what gives?
MNG means multinodulat goiter. i was felling comfortable and continuing with my studies. untill i stopped going to school since i was felling unwell however my national.exam will be on match thiss year. although i wsnt well i decided to stay at home and preparee for.it. but i wonder why icnt concentrate in reading immediately i take book to read i fell exhausted and tired.
Some years ago, I started compiling a list of many of the abbreviations and acronyms that appear on the Thyroid UK forum ( healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/ ) regularly. The idea was to make it relatively quick and easy to look up abbreviations and acronyms without being waylaid by the many irrelevant possibilities that web searches tend to return.
I continue to update the document quite frequently!

If I have posted this because you asked about, or referred to, an abbreviation or acronym, please take this as intended, a way of helping you now and into the future. Not a criticism that you asked.
I'm guessing that folks here can only help if there's enough information. Frankly we know almost nothing about your condition. In order to advise, we need more info.
Re palpitations. Without doubt its a serious heart symptom that warrants dealing with. But to fix the problem, u need to know the cause.
Some causes can be dealt with with medicine and lifestyle changes. Other more serious causes or heart symptoms that cannot be brought under control, may require a more definitive fix.
Yea. Doctor told me to continue with proparanolol though palpitation remains but my heart rate normal. So am wondrring if palpitation can occur with normal heart rate
Have you spoken to any doctor about your heart symptoms. Wouldn’t they best be able to advise if this heart issue is solely related to your high FT3 or if it merits further investigation & treatment. Have you had a electro cardio gram?
