I have good news I have no heart murmur found out that my TSH level is a little overactive .5 .4 is overactive so my doctors nurse is cutting down my levothyroxine to 100mcg four times a day and 112 three times a day to cut it back slowly and to slow the thyroid down a little bit.
Thats what was giving me my palpitations

Hope ur feeling abit better.
I thought you put 5.4 above for your TSH.
Its 0.5 / 0.4 did you put .. Couldnt see the tiny dot ( point) until i noticed it on another post.
Thats not bad 0.5 any less raises alarms.
Your on alot of thyroxine a day, no wonder you suffering.
Hope all calms soon

My doctor said 0.4 would be overactive so I was close to it being overactive
