Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Its been a while since I wrote. I been busy and haven't had the time for much of the computer. I'm in need of some help before I called the Endo tomorrow. Three weeks ago I got sick with a cold. Since then I haven't been feeling right. Then last week I started having shortness of breathe, rapid heart beat, fast pulse around 100. Also I can't fall asleep till 3 in the morning and then my husband keeps waken me up cause I have trouble breathing. Plus my eyes got worse. I haven't had these symptoms since before the RAI back in April. I did call my Endo last Thursday because I was very concern that these symptoms came back and ask him if I can take a atenolol since I had a couple left. He did let me take the atenolol and told me to come in the next day. I still had the rapid heart beat, my pulse went down to 90 and I still had some trouble breathing. He told me that its probably not my thyroid since my last labs came back good and that was 2 months ago. I was due for my next batch of labs in 2 weeks. He had me go for my labs on Friday and I have to call him on Monday for the results but in the mean time he told me to stop taking the 75 mcg of synthroid and gave me a prescription for more atenolol and a prescription for 50 mcg of synthroid (which I can't fill till the labs come back). He did ask alot of questions on other symptoms. My question is can I go hyper again after being on 75mcg of synthroid for 5 months or is it something more serious? And why would he tell me to stop taking the synthroid if he didn't think it was my thryroid causing it. Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
