Guest guest Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I was diagnosed with hashimotos almost 3 years ago now and i am on 80mcg of Liothyronine a day. The only problem is that whilst i am better than when on the thyroxine i still have many symptoms and still do not feel well enough to work full time or exercise. I had a 24hour blood pressure monitor put on and here are some of the readings: 13:32 132/88 98 bpm 13:47 118/65 118 bpm 14:28 130/72 111 bpm 14:50 96/63 85 bpm 15:05 97/59 77 bpm 15:56 101/62 71 bpm 16:18 105/64 80 bpm 16:33 96/61 78 bpm 16:54 101/55 76 bpm 17:21 92/58 76 bpm 17:39 143/71 87 bpm 18:04 131/109 91 bpm 18:20 116/46 99 bpm 18:39 104/69 78 bpm 18:57 114/62 80 bpm 19:22 110/69 99 bpm 19:46 126/80 121 bpm 20:11 109/61 85 bpm 20:32 112/77 108 bpm 20:50 99/63 78 bpm 21:12 103/62 90 bpm 21:36 104/61 81 bpm 21:59 95/58 79 bpm 22:23 94/61 73 bpm 22:39 103/59 72 bpm 23:04 95/51 89 bpm 23:44 101/55 95 bpm 00:31 103/59 82 bpm 01:13 95/49 88 bpm 02:01 117/63 82 bpm 02:48 108/65 90 bpm 03:38 132/69 89 bpm 04:30 82/34 69 bpm 05:18 86/42 69 bpm 06:08 105/56 82 bpm 06:25 98/54 67 bpm 06:45 89/46 63 bpm 07:04 96/55 61 bpm 07:29 102/47 67 bpm 07:53 93/50 88 bpm 08:09 95/55 61 bpm 08:32 86/40 59 bpm 08:56 97/61 69 bpm 09:16 90/48 65 bpm 09:38 94/57 94 bpm 10:02 119/77 119 bpm 10:26 117/74 96 bpm 10:43 122/76 99 bpm 11:02 95/59 70 bpm 11:20 96/63 69 bpm 11:36 92/57 74 bpm 11:51 102/66 80 bpm 12:10 116/68 111 bpm 12:35 127/68 103 bpm I still have many symptoms and was wondering if these readings look normal?? Id really apreciate any advice because all my endo does is say that im ok or that he doesnt know why i have symptoms im only 26 years old is this normal blood pressure? Here are my blood results whilst on 80mcg T3 only: cortisol: 263.3 (185-624 8am) magnesium: 0.79 (0.6-1) potassium: 3.7 (3.5-5) sodium: 139 (136-145) glucose: 5.30 (4.1-5.9) cholesterol: 5.67 (2.9-4.7) estimated glomerular filtration: 162.6 (50-70) iron: 8.60 (8.8-27) tibic: 46.8 (27.8-53.7) ferritin: 40.02 (10-120) iron saturation: 15.5% (20-50) vitamin b12: 304 (133-675) folate: 13.67 (8.07-45.3) TSH: 0.001 (0.4-4.2) FT4: 0.0 (7.86-14.41) FT3: 4.82 (3.8-6) my iron levels keep dropping now and then any ideas why? Ive also added more salt to my diet to try and stop the dizzy spells and weakness etc. does this all look ok? my endo wants me to lower my T3 but that only make me feel worse and makes my blood pressure and temperature drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
