For the last few weeks I have felt as though I am having either a heart attack or panic attack. No pain in chest area but feels strange, when walking left arm feels weak only occasionally mouth feels dry but not thirsty. Yesterday played football with Granddaughter but was more or less ok.
Actually passed out over a couple of weeks at night after stomach and head feeling strange, felt sick and dizzy. Could TSH be too high, last blood test a couple of weeks ago TSH 0.95 (0.2-4.0)? Any other ideas please?
I have spoken to GP she wants to monitor my heart over 24 hours but that won’t happen for 6-12 weeks she said.

Thanks for replying. I stopped taking PPI due to side effects.Vitamin D was tested 49 (50-100). Have trouble taking anything with fillers but have just started some Vitamin D today without any. I always have the same brand.
Don’t think doctor was going there with other tests but could ask. I thought same as you.
Antibodies were tested some while ago everything ok.
Vitamin D mouth spray by Better You is very effective as it avoids poor gut function. There’s a version made that also contains vitamin K2 Mk7. As it’s absorbed in mouth you don’t need to wait 4 hours between levothyroxine and vitamin D
I was getting that lighted headedness in around 2017/18 .
If I looked up, trying to look up at the supermarket top shelf, or bending down as well. I fell a few times too.
I was taking Phenergan to help me sleep - it had been prescribed for me by another GP in the practice, because I have a hell of a job sleeping - but my GP who I saw on this occasion and asked about dizzyness stopped the Phenergan because he said it had been proven that Phenergan caused the dizziness issues.
I didn't stop them, I carried on buying them because they are an antihistamine and ok to buy over the counter because I didn't agree with him. And once I started my B vitamin supplements I was no longer getting dizzy.
I had no idea that low B vitamins could cause that, but if I see the GP again I will be sure to tell him!!! LoL
The same GP stopped me using an oestrogen pessary thing as well that had been prescribed to me after a visit to see a gyennie at the hospital because he said I didn't need that either.
He reduced my Levo too when I was still complaining of hot flushes which were going on day and night, because he said I was obviously taking too much of that as well. That wasn't after a blood test either, just because I asked why I was having them still.
Those have disappeared too now. Thank goodness for supplements, that's what I say. They take some time to get going, but I would never think of reducing any of them now.
It is gradually being recognised that women's symptoms for things like heart attacks are not always the same as in men. I can't give you a link, but try googling for 'heart attack symptoms in women'.
I suggest you make a list of your symptoms and ring 111 to discuss.
