My anxiety has been raging, iv had palpitation and fluttery feelings as a first
Could this be caused by thyroid or do you think separate issue? I hate anti depressants and avoid but my head has felt set in concrete for 3 days, I don't know if connected or not?
Any thoughts much appreciated
Best wishes
Pauline

If you are in the UK it is very unlikely that your GP has tested your free T3, and they may not have tested your free T4.
You need to get your test results with ranges to find out exactly what the doctor tested only that way can make informed queries and suggest you are treated in a particular way.
She was adamant my palpataions and breathless are anxiety based and sent me off to gym and meditation, said my 5 reading is ok and I am too young yet for 'worn out' gland and they are. It at all co corned with my readings, my t4 at 14.4

Thnx again
Sorry for typos as I a message waiting for glasses lol and was on my little phone
Your GP is talking s**t. People are individuals and while most people with thyroid disorders are old and female NOT ALL are.
I suggest you educate yourself on the thyroid and get together money to get private testing plus anything else you need. Otherwise you will be sick for years.
Don't bother wasting money going to the gym. At the moment the only exercise you should do should be light walking, yoga and swimming. You don't have enough Free T3 to do anything else.
You are anxious and have brain fog because you are under medicated.
You are on hormone replacement for your thyroid hormones and your TSH is far too high.
Unfortunately what is commonly found on this forum is that GPs know very little about thyroid disorders and a minority of GPs when faced with an self-educated patient admit it.
Pps So confused as it's a known fact that anxiety symptoms cause my symptoms too and as I sit here calm after exercising (endorphins etc ) I don't have any symptoms and mood fine, feel up beat
Chicken and egg
Looking forwards to my results of t3
Luckily have 12 free weeks on body fitness programme!! 👍 Doing the lot, Pilates, yoga aqua aerobics - make or break
