Reaction to lexothyroxin
Posted , 5 users are following.
hi just joined this site today I've been recently diagnosed under active Dr started me on 25mg of lexothyroxine took it for 9 days but feeling unwell nausea and with palpitations had ecg which was normal now referred to cardiologist for 24 hr ecg as had palpitations before treatment started. Agreed to take a a break from taking lexothyroxine it to see if causing palpitations didn't take it yesterday but took it this morning as worried as feeling really cold with tremors. Waiting for t3 blood test results feel really stressed as worse since starting treatment than before although was tired and had weight gain with some palpitations. Do side affects ease off? Or is it thyroid symtoms as tsh 18 anti bodies 75 and think t4 is 8.

went to Dr today as up from 3.30am with really bad palpitations and didn't feel well enough to go to work but wasn't my usual Dr. My blood pressure was normal my pulse 91 which he said was normal but not normal for me. All my blood tests were normal think it was calcium sugar levels and only menopause was raised.He's booked me in to see my Dr on Thursday and suggested I take lexothyroxin every other day to see if that makes a difference. Any suggestions on what I need to ask my Dr on Thursday I know to ask To check on vitamin levels. Is it worth asking for a different medication so far my blood tests for thyroid have been for Tsh, thyroid antibodies and t4
thanks
