Autoimmune Thyreoditis correct diagnose???
Hi,
From 15 years old I've diganosed with a slightly enlarged thyroid, I've was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis 2000, when I had very bad weeks with no sleep and hyper symptoms with a very high blood pressure at 200/165.
I did a scintigraphy and they told me that it should not take up anything, however the result was that it did take up some.....I was left with this diagnose anyway and betablocker . Was this the correct diagnose?.
I had TSH 0.01, T4 21, Tpo-AK 450 Tg-AK 447.
Over the years I developed hypo symptoms however I always been on betablocker since I still have rapid heart beats and high blood pressure, symptoms of hyper which comes and goes under stress otherwise hypo symptoms.
Now 2013 I noticed that I have more often hyper attacks and more severe symptoms, I went to Endo specialist and my tests were TSH 2.0, T4 12, my TPO antibodies has increased to 1500. No TRAK was taken in this test. My blood pressure despite eating betablocker 50 mg and sparkal 20 mg daily was 170/100, I haven't been sleeping now for 4 days, cramps in my legs, problems with breathing, my ears are ringing, my hands and feets are aching, and I can also feel some spasm around my eyes....Even with medication to calm me down I'm not able to sleep.
I read about Hashimoto Hashitoxicosis which is bang on my symptoms. Is it possible for me to kill my thyroid to eliminate the hyper symptoms and then threat the hypo?

How can you say that the blood pressure(hypertension) is not related to the thyroid, if I look into the wikipedia hypertension is a direct symptom of Graves or Hashimoto Hashitoxicosis which is the hyperattacks for Hashimoto?

It does look like autoimmune thyroid disease, currently with normal thyroid function (TSH 2). At this point, there is no clear indication to eliminate thyroid (I-131 or surgery) unless there is a definite pattern of recurring thyroidits/thyrotoxic episodes. The symptoms are nonspecific and may not be thyroid related. The blood pressure is not likely due to thyroid and should be corrected as it could cause many of these symptoms.
