Thyroid Question For Barb / Phil

[Guest guest]

Actually anyone that has knowledge.

I remember someone posting about testing your body temp when you wake up one

time. I think you are supposed to use a mercury thermometer under the arm, but I

am curious how an oral digital reading would relate. I don't have an old

fashioned one! LOL

The past few mornings I have been taking my oral temp as soon as I wake up. It

has been from 97.7 to 98.2 over several days.

Just wondering how that would relate to the other method, and if it shows you

folks anything. Is the oral reading typically higher than under the arm with a

mercury bulb one?

This thermometer is very accurate as I have tested it in liquid against a

professional probe type unit I use in my trade that cost about 400 bucks.

I am thinking more and more that what Barb said about me being not 'optimal' on

T3 is being made up for by adrenaline. BP and pulse have been doing strange

things.

When I wake up my pulse is usually around 65,......as soon as I start to move

around it goes up to the mid eighties. Just walking will take it into the low to

mid nineties, and forget about when I am working!

Also I have noticed that after I eat almost anything, my pulse ramps up for a

couple of hours.

I am a fairly fit/active person, and not overweight at all, so this is becoming

a concern to me. I feel certain that something to do with hormones of one type

or the other is behind all of what is going on with me. Got my appt. with the

Cardiologist changed to Thursday morning, but can't imagine that it is anything

related to my heart. I have had every test known to man done I believe.

Thanks for any input as usual.
