Hyperthyroid, I think!

2 weeks ago while I work I got this feeling of raising pressure in my head and it felt as if I were going to faint. I went to the ER and had a complete work up. The only thing that they found was a very high BP and pulse,  T4 of 13 and a TSH of 0.05 and it was down hill from there! I’m having blurred vision, weird tingly feeling in my head, my limbs feel like weights, my hearts racing, I’m having trembles and I can not sleep! Due to a thyroid cancer diagnosis 7 years ago I was on 200mcg of levo. They’ve  reduced my script to 150mcg and added 2 blood pressure pills and a beta blocker to lower my paluse. I’ve been on this new dose 2 weeks and it’s gotten a little better because I can stand long enough to shower but I’m still having the racing heart and trembles that they’re now saying are panic attacks. Has anyone else gone through this and if so how long does it take to feel “normal” again?

    Hi Venus star, 0.05 is very low on the limits for TSH levels, you may want them to retest and see if your T3 level is high
