I have all the symptoms of overactive thyroid but after 2 lots of blood tests 6 months apart, all have come back clear
I am still losing weight although I eat lots and now I am hyper. I can't settle . Need to be cleaning cupboards, ironing, up at 6.30 every morning raring to go. ( not normal for me !)
My doctor doesn't know what to suggest now apart from to have some more bloods in 6 weeks time to see if there is any change
My hair is thinning slightly and I feel a bit shaky also
Anyone else had these symptoms but no diagnosis ?
Starting to worry !!!
Típico de hipertiroidismo. ¿Has hecho algún análisis de anticuerpos tiroideos?
I think my doctor has done all the tests.
I have even had chest x-ray and breast examination in case it was anything more sinister
I am 63 years old and had a hysterectomy in my 30s so I know it's not menopausal
¿Qué pruebas de tiroides has tenido? ¿Es solo TSH? Si es así, es posible que aún tengas niveles de T4 y T3 demasiado altos, aunque el TSH esté dentro del rango normal. Sin embargo, aunque algunos de tus síntomas, como el temblor, son compatibles con el hipertiroidismo, el estar constantemente en movimiento no suele ser el caso (aunque en algunos casos puede serlo), porque la mayoría de las personas con hipertiroidismo se sienten totalmente agotadas y tienen tan poca energía que apenas pueden funcionar. Trabajo con caballos y hago 5 horas de duro trabajo físico al día. También hacía ejercicio en el gimnasio a diario antes de enfermar. Cuando me volví hipertiroidea, no podía hacer ninguna de esas cosas. Empezaría a limpiar un establo y me desmayaría en la esquina. Tenía dolores en el pecho y me sentía totalmente mal. Mis extremidades me dolían constantemente y no podía dormir en absoluto. Tenía palpitaciones y dolor en el pecho. No habría podido hacer las cosas que describes. Pero parece que podrías tener hipertiroidismo subclínico y necesitar más investigaciones. También podrías tener un trastorno mental que cause lo que describes. Las personas bipolares que pasan por su estado hiperactivo son exactamente como tú describes.
¿Tiene, por casualidad, una copia impresa de sus resultados de análisis de sangre? Es posible que sus valores estén dentro del rango normal, pero cerca del límite superior. Algunos pacientes presentan síntomas de hipertiroidismo incluso si su nivel de tiroxina está dentro del rango (pero hacia el extremo superior del espectro).
Sería útil que llevara un registro de su frecuencia cardíaca en reposo (durante al menos una semana). Si su frecuencia cardíaca es consistentemente superior a 90 latidos por minuto, debería comentarlo con su médico de cabecera.
Oh dear I hope not !!
i don't think I have any mental disorder but thanks for your comments
Babsc52....hello there and wow must be driving you crazy! I've been diagnosed with graves disease and hyperthyroidism. ..what you describe sounds like my symptoms somewhat. My racing heart,body tremors and shakey hands,high blood pressure,sweating all the tune etc. Keep having bloodwork done or go to another dr. I was diagnosed as hypothyroid and given levothyroxine. 150 then reduced down to .137 and my symptoms git worse and worse and I became very irritable and argumentative which is totally not me. Long story short my dr misdiagnosed me. I was hyperthyroidism not hypo and was taking medicine to raise my already high thyroid and now a total wreck!! KiND of like giving a diabetic sugar for his symptoms.....it really messed me up! Now having my thyroid out due to the graces disease. My advise to you. ...if you're still showing signs please go to another dr just for second opinion....I would hate for someone out there to be misdiagnosed as I was and medicated wrongly. Do yoursrlf a favor because my dr misread the bloodwork labs ans I'm paying dearly now at my Dr's expense!! Chin up and go get rechecked!
i don't have a printout but I will request one and I will check my heart rate
thank you
Thanks for your comments
I found them very encouraging
Hi, I'd recommend you research symptoms of magnesium deficiency. xxx
Lo siento, no pretendía insinuar que lo tengas, pero solo estaba sugiriendo una posibilidad si todas las investigaciones físicas resultan negativas. Una de cada cuatro personas tiene un trastorno mental en diferentes grados, por lo que siempre es una consideración, y nada fuera de lo ordinario.
Sí, me sentí terrible, pero cada vez que me hice pruebas mi función tiroidea estaba bien... resulta que tengo la enfermedad de Graves, mis niveles suben y bajan, generalmente ahora soy tóxica por T3 ya que estuve sin diagnosticar por tanto tiempo x
adelgazamiento del cabello, temblores, etc., generalmente lo achacan a las hormonas... especialmente si tienes cierta edad.... ahora soy menopáusica y tengo que lidiar con eso además de la enfermedad de Graves.
gracias a dios fui diagnosticada o seguiría luchando contra ser tratada como una loca menopáusica!
lleva un diario de síntomas, persevera, espero que recibas ayuda, eventualmente xx
Thanks. Will look into that
Babs... You have all the symptoms I had 9/10 months ago .. And believe me I was in a bad way .. Feeling suicidal ... It's was dreadful !
I was told I had Graves' disease !!
Went to see an endocrinologist privately as I knew I'd get nowhere on NHS .. I was put on Carbimazole 20 mg per day ...then slowly coming down to 5 mg per day until two weeks ago .. When I was told that my blood results no longer show ANY problems ... I.e. .. I am euthyroid or Normal
Thank God ! ... And vitamins and minerals ....
Carnitine
B12
B 1
B CompleX
Selenium
Magnesium
Calcium with Vit K and zinc
Vit E
ACidophilus high strength
...... And one or two others...
I am positive they have led me back to good health ... As before my Graves' disease there was nothing wrong with me ...
I had a perfectly healthy thyroid..
It was my immune system that was attacking it and causing all the trouble ... Thank god I didn't take my GPs advice at the time and have RAI
... Or thyroid removal surgery !!
These 2 treatments are not always necessary .. Stay on this site and ask lots of questions from very experienced people who will be very happy to help and advise you .. Don't be shy ..good luck
🌹... For you
Perhaps you need a new doctor. If you don't feel well and the doctor can't figure it out then it's time to change. Just some advice.
Hola Jan
¿Te importa si te pregunto dónde estás basado? Suena similar a mí. Historia larga. Harto del NHS
Hello babasc52 I went to see my doctor 10 times and she did not pick up on Graves disease I went down to 5stones did not stop eating if I ate a Mars bar within an hour I passed a Mars bar food was going though my system so fast I had to be in close vacinity to a lavatory all the time. My heart was beating so fast I was shaking from head to foot and I couldnt lay down sat up in bed proped up with pillows. My periods did not stop so the doctor decided I needed an hysterectomy. Like you I did not stop working washing ironing etc at my workplace I was testing telephone lines three times as fast as the other technicians. It was only when my DR. was on leave and I saw her partner he realized what was wrong and ordered a different blood test the day after I saw him I had an emergency appointment at the North Middlesex Hospital. Because my condition was not picked I have spent the last thirty years with problems. Dont leave it get a second opinion. Unlike my mother I did not get bulging eyes or a lump in my throat and that is what most GP look for but we do not all follow the text book.
Hi and thanks for your reply
I find it very worrying the amount of people who don't get diagnosed
I really don't think my doctor knows what to do or say to me
Come back in 6 weeks is a bit of a put off
Like you, I eat lots of chocolate, biscuits etc plus normal meals
Do you know which blood test you had that made the difference ?
I have had 2 lots of bloods done now and I know my doctor added another couple of things to be tested for. All negative !
Deprimidos generalmente no saben diagnosticar casos graves, tuve suerte, un médico de cabecera notó mi bocio demasiado grande y me envió a hacerme pruebas.
Esto, después de que me enviaran a casa en silla de ruedas desde el hospital, babeando después de que me administraran diazepam para sedarme, por temblar. Pensaron que solo estaba teniendo un ataque de pánico. Así que, cuando eso pasó, ¡todavía estaba temblando! ¡Linda toxicidad en mis niveles de T3, mientras que mi T4 estaba por las nubes!
Cosa peligrosa, la ignorancia.
Necesitamos estar conscientes de todos los síntomas y la necesidad de revisar todo x
