You are not alone I have hypothyroidism and I'm on levothyroxine. Yesterday after work as a bell ringer I had a really bad panic attack. I had taken a vitamin b6 with my vitamin d3 and my metformin, ativan, metoprolol, losartan. I was inside my lobby building when it happened and my heart rate was at 120 it could have been higher because I was shaking and trembling, and crying it has not been that bad since I lived alone in my own apartment back in 1999. Then I worry because I have had no periods since last spring and people my age are still having periods why am I not getting one, and i know I'm not pregnant because I do not have sex so why haven't I had a period
You couldn't get worse advice than from me! Seriously, I HATE taking any forma of medication, and feel blessed that I don't have to take anything at all at the mo. But one thing's for sure: If I were prescribed meds, I wouldn't stop taking them, unless on my Doctor's advice.
Love it or loath it, our lil' ol' thyroid has quite a bit role to play in our wellbeing, so I'd ring your out-of-hours Doc's service and take some advice.
Hi Donna, became allergic to penicillin two months ago, started taking thyroxine one month ago, age 52 and 2 years since regular cycle. Its one thing afer another!
Thanks for your reply susan. This anxiety is a butt
kicker for sure we just gotta hang in there. There are several reasons for not having a cycle everyones body is different. I dont have regular cycles any more. Good luck to you
It could never ever stop your thyroid medication because I have hypothyroidism too and if you sto it it can bring your thyroid down and you will be tired and not with it. You should have made sure that doctor can give you enough thyroid to last until you go back to the doctor
peri can start sometimes in our thirties. Try not to worry about the symptoms, as that will make your heart go faster. Someone recommended a brilliant book on here last week, it's called 'screaming to be heard" written by a female doctor. She talks about our fluctuating hormones, including thyroid,many of the symptoms we experience. Although they are awful at times, it's good to know that they aren't going to kill you, and they will settle eventually. I recommend you download the book (cheaper than buying it), as you will find many answers to your concerns. Also so much help, advice and support from this amazing blog started by Leslie in 2012.
When do you think you will have money because that thyroid medication is important you should never stop that. Your doctor should have prescribed enough until you saw him. Hope you can get your thyroid soon and have your blood test taking to make sure it did not go low
