Reverse of Thyroid results and severe chest pain

[Charlieboots]

My original test result wasTSH 10.71 and T4 15.2. Dose thyroxine increased to 125mcg from100mcg

Ten days ago I had severe chest pain and ended up in A+E Not a heart attack thankfully.

Two days later my TSH was0.02mU/L T4 27.2pmol/L

Se thyroid peroxidase Ab conc 36.7U/ml (High)

Serum C-reactive protein level<5.0mg/L

A Cardiologist telephoned me and said she thought my thyroid imbalance was causing arrhythmia and referred me to Endocrinologist. Also thought pain could be muscular.

GP now asks me if I've taken too many thyroxine tabs). Now back on 100mcg thyroxine again

Still waiting Endocrinologist phone call but do not know what to do. Still tired, lack of energy etc...

Any advice would be welcome.

They need to measure fT3 as it is far more likely that your thyroid is erratically pumping out T3. Your 25 mcg L-T4 increase is insufficient to explain these blood test results and your symptoms.

Thank you for your quick response. I intend now to use the private blood test to get thorough results as it is clear the GP will not. I think the Blue Horizon Gold is the one but I will check. I am so worried, especially as the A and E staff were awful.(Not Cardiologist though).Really find it very hard to understand, so thanks again.

The monitor my health test is cheaper as you already have an antibody test done by your GP.

Thank you will source this. I have to say I am overwhelmed by how kind people are on this site. After the way I have been spoken to by 'the caring profession' (and I was a nurse for nearly40 years) it restores my faith in mankind!
