Hiya, I've been off Carbimazole for little over a week now, I am usually on 10mg a day and have been since I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism in May. I had recently been told I have thy2 nodules which was a huge relief and have a Thyroid uptake scan next week. This scan has required me to be off my Carbimizole for the scan and since coming off I haven't been feeling very well. I am unsure if this is related or whether I am just paranoid but I've been really dizzy at work, had vision changes and have been extremely tired and run down where I feel like I'm just sleeping all the time. I then woke up on Monday with an extremely sore throat that was extremely swollen, it has since come down but is still sore and have a really dry cough that is causing a painful burning sensation across my chest. I am just concerned because I haven't had a cough like this before and along with the other symptoms and me only being 20 years old I'm just getting myself more anxious. I know it could just be me being paranoid but since I have been diagnosed it has been one thing after another from chest infections to water infections and I am now well and truly fed up! Just looking for some advice on whether anyone has been in a situation before. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this smile

    I thought I would also just add that I've been feeling weak and had achey limbs as well but this could just be related to the sore throat I suppose. I've been getting a tight chest for a few days too.
