angina and arrythemias in the evenings?what is the cause

[Merlio18]

Has anyone had the above heart issues when either under or over medicated and with it triggering more in the evening when severely exhausted? I have high cortisol issues , I need to try and supplement with a herbal tincture i have just bought but I have also just changed from 1.5 grains of Armour to metavive bovine supplements 80mcg and the heart issues are getting severe in the evening when severely exhausted ?

I was thinking of taking half a capsule at 6 ish to see if it increased or subdued?

also my NDT has never been lower than about 2 on Armour 1.5 grains so not sure it would go hyper in two weeks?I thought more hypo but not sure as don't no how strong the 80mcg is and what's equalivant

when on levo was 50/75 t3 that suppressed my TSH to about 0.5-1

Please add most recent thyroid and vitamin results and ranges

Tests must be done after minimum 6-8 weeks on unchanging dose and brand of replacement thyroid hormones

All four vitamins need to be OPTIMAL

On NDT you would expect TSH to be extremely low/suppressed when adequately treated

I can't wait 6-8 weeks for a blood test with these symptoms they are sever I will beable to tell if I am under medicated as my tsh would of gone up since my last bloods a few months back.

It's nothing to do with vitamins my question it's to do with affects of dosage / NDT/ metavive

On NDT my TSH wasn't suppressed as I couldn't afford to take 2 pills of armour and when I did for a trial of a few weeks I feel abit hyper but with NP i probably could take 2 and tolerate it better the only one of felt stable on was WP as it had least fillers until they stopped making it

I want to know if other people have experienced heart issues on NDT or metavive if it was normal or not and whether it was to do with the dosage

I have high cortisol and low end iron levels which I have been supplementing

Low iron/ferritin can cause chest tightness and palpitations

humanbean posts about low iron and heart regularly

Read her many posts and replies

How low was ferritin last test

Many people find they can’t tolerate high enough dose NDT. You could add some levothyroxine

Hi, I get arrhythmia and heart palpitations (quite like the feeling actually!) in the evenings but never notice them during the day. I think it's connected with eating, I have my main meal in the evenings. However my GP told me heart palpitations can be a sign of being under medicated. Not sure if that's helpful.
