Very worried - waiting for endocrinologist
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi All
You've probably read this a million times but am new to all this!! Started over the past few months with anxiety, mood swings, crying, racing heart adn being hot all the time. Went to the docs initially as I thought it was anxiety. She was great and ordered bloods asap and gave me propranolol for anxiety. Thyroid came back "not normal" and just had an ultrasound showing lots of small nodules. Anyway my concern is the meds - ive been referred to an endocrinologst but she hasnt prescribed me anything - just told me to take propranaolol 10mg x 3 a day. Just scared as I dont want to get worse!! Anything I can do while I wait? xx

If your endocrinologist is not "concerned" about monitoring levels, ask them outright to be tested on a regular basis. It will give you peace of mind and force them to pay attention to your situation.
Endocrinologists treat people who suffer from hormonal imbalances, The overall goal of treatment is to restore the normal balance of hormones found in a patient's body.
