does anyone have a fluttering of heart on occasion, or quick pound like it is going to come out of your chest. On levothyroxine 25 mg. I think TSH was 2.45. also lost half of my hair starting November. I had Covid then so not sure if that is why. (have hashimoto). Does hair grow back?
so flutter question and hair question.....😜

Hair loss and regrowth can happen when starting on thyroid medication. Good explanation here palomahealth.com/learn/levo...
Heart fluttering may also be caused by wonky thyroid levels. 25mcg levothyroxine is usually a starting dose and most people need to increase from that. You should have been tested about 4-6 weeks after starting on that dose. If you were, post your TSH, FT4 and FT3 results to give a better idea of what might be going on.
thanks! I was being treated for subclinical hypothyroid but the Levo was started back in July 22, so I was surprised by more recent hair loss. of course they didn't test recently for the whole thyroid panel and now I need to become aggressive with a doctor. ugh.
I have had all of these things done...many in normal range according to all the posts I read here. hashimoto positive. I am tiny and 25 mg seems just fine and took away my subclinical symptoms and brought down to 2.45 which is my normal range for years. I can't give all my results right now...I was looking for peoples personal experiences with heart palpitations and hair loss....more for support and how people feel. not for help with diagnosis at this time. going to new doc next week.
