Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I have this happen when I eat Chinese food. I seriously suspect that some of the 'additives' in the food contribute to the symptoms, IMO. I learned once I was hyperT/Graves, I could not eat as I had before. Home cooked meals work much better for me because I don't add tons of things into the mixture. If it's cooked by somebody else, it's a crap shoot. I've heard of people who couldn't tolerate MSG, but nothing affects me like having Chinese Food, and this may have things like MSG in it. Sad part is, I've always loved it? I just can't deal with the after affects.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 CAN YOU HAVE > TEMPORARY HYPER STATES THAT ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM ONE TIME TO > THE NEXT __________________________ You bet you can. It's all tied into adrenal function. A big meal or a meal that is a stress on the system by being a bit different than you are used to can stress the adrenals. Sugar like you would find in chocolate is a reall adrenal stressor. When cortisol drops, you can become temporarily hyper. This is because thyroid can't get into tissues and will build up in the blood. It will give varying degrees of both hyper and hypo symptoms. For, example, a pounding heart, but feeling cold at the same time. Or, a night sweat and feeling mildly ill. Or hyperventilation because you can't get enough oxygen into tissues mixed with a pounding heart or the shakes. Next time you have one of these events just take your temperature and pulse. I'll bet you will find that temperature is very low, like 96 degrees, but your pulse is high. This means that thyroid is not getting into tissues to generate heat, but is too high in the blood affecting the heart and muslces, which are very sensitive to thyroid. I have low adrenal function mostly in the morning and this gives me hyper symptoms for a few hours. Then it clears up by afternoon and everything is normal. The body is very dynamic.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 , The longer I stayed hypothyroid the more different foods affected me in a bad way. Sometimes if I eat the wrong thing, or too many preservatives, or packaged food, I get short of breath, fast pulse, etc. Hyper doesn't seem possible on 1/2 grain of Armour a day unless you're having terrible resistance to thyroid hormone. > > > > > > Up until last night I had been sleeping normally, basically since > > being off Synthroid.
