I also feel really fatigued I have had private testing for my thryoid but have had the palpitations feeling of skipped paused beats for 8 months now will it eventually go away my cardiologist said it was afib going of my Apple Watch readings but I’m having another echo scan and monitor for 5 days. The cardiologist said it would go away but I feel it’s been along time already and I’m really scared and I feel awful Any help or suggestions please I have posted most recent tests

Was this thyroid test done early morning, ideally before 9am

Important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking, if any

Have you had cholesterol levels tested ….high cholesterol levels suggests hypothyroid

or coeliac blood test test done

Gluten intolerance very common with autoimmune disease

MVP ?

You mean mitral valve prolapse…..research suggests this may be autoimmune too as is more common with autoimmune thyroid disease

Have you had ultrasound scan of thyroid

20% of autoimmune thyroid patients never have high thyroid antibodies

Yes was around 10am I take garden of life prenatal I have carried on taking it as I had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago. Rositas cod liver oil pure encapsulations magnesium glycinate no they won’t do a scan as my levels was normal last time so she is more likely going to discharge me from endocrinologist if my 2nd bloods come back normal

Sorry for your loss

Link about Miscarriage and low iron/ferritin (and thyroid )

Article explains why Low ferritin and low thyroid levels are often linked

preventmiscarriage.com/iron...

Suggest you get full thyroid and vitamin testing 6-8 weeks after miscarriage. See if TSH is lower then

Test early Monday or Tuesday morning before 9am

Stop taking any supplements that contain biotin a week before all blood tests as biotin can falsely affect test results

Mitral valve prolapse can be associated with low magnesium levels. (magnesium blood tests are of limited use). I would try a magnesium supplement and eat magnesium rich foods such as tomatoes and green vegetables. Avoid excess coffee or alcohol as these can lead to magnesium loss as can some diuretics.

Your thyroid blood tests look OK and don't indicate hyperthyroidism.

Please note I'm a patient and don't have any cardiac knowledge. I would go by what your cardiologist says.

Results suggest Hashimoto’s flare rather than hyper

Hashimoto’s frequently starts with transient hyperthyroid results and symptoms before becoming increasingly hypothyroid

Your very first post 7 months ago shows what’s likely a transient hyperthyroid phase of early stage Hashimoto’s

Essential to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Come back with new post once you get vitamin results…via GP or privately
