Re: CHF and hypothyroidism

Not really, two different kinds of heart disease. Congestive heart

failure is an enlarged heart with fluid surrounding it and

cardiomyopathy is inflamed heart muscle. The latter I don't know much

more about.

YEs both. Although you can get A-Fib from other things it can be the result of

high thyroid, though I m nto sure about hypo being a cause. Hypo can definitely

cause CHF.

Thanks Val, My mom came down with chf and atrial fibrillation. Her latest tsh

blood test was:

tsh 2.32 ( .45-4.5)

ft4 1.6 ( .8-1.7)

ft3 2.2 (2.0-4.8)

Her sodium was 138 ( 135-145)

How do those numbers look and what can she do to help her situation out with

the heart. With the a fib. her pulse runs rather high..... The doctor has her

on Coreg which regulates the blood pressure and also brings down the pulse

slightly. He also had her on Digoxin to slow down the pulse but my mother was

seeing halos at night from the digoxin so she takes it sparingly when the pulse

starts to rise...She aslo has stage 3 kidney disease as well...

I am at such a loss of what to do for her. I just do not trust these

doctors....

Thanks for your help.....
