Overactive thyroid.
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hello there, I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid last week and my GP started me on Carbimazole 20mg, but on Sunday just gone I was extremely breathless with my heart racing. I ended up at A&E where I was given Bisoprolol 2.5 mg to be taken every morning. The endo`s at the hospital saw me and believe I have Graves disease, so also gave me some drops for my eyes. The Endo doctor raised my Carbimazole to twice a day and said I`d feel much better when I go to her clinic in about 6 weeks time. However I feel so incredibly tired and wonder if this was normal. I`ve no energy or want to do anything. I`m 63 yrs old so wondered if my age has anything to do with this tiredness as I thought `hyper` would leave me with boundless energy. Thanks in advance for anyone who answers me- all help is gratefully appreciated. x

i am not a dr but a patient expert in this field as i had overactive thyriod 6 years ago.
all the symptoms you describe are all normal
tiredness i used to fall asleep everywhere i went
heart racing is normal, the trick to control your heart racing is to start doing breathing control. As soon as you know your heart is going to start racing. in from your nose out from your mouth BUT the key is breath from your stomach.
lol at graves disease the dr. hide that worrd all thyriod illness are call graves disease. but nothing to worry about.
