thyroiditis

[PRADA001]

After posting a question here last year with my blood results and symptoms, you diagnosed me with possible thyroiditus and told me to go to the doctors which I did. They referred me to a Endocrinologist who agree with you and I was diagnosed with thyroiditus last summer. I was told that regular checks to make sure that the thyroid levels were going back to normal were needed and that no medication ws needed. The last blood work I had done around 8 weeks ago showed my thyroid levels back to normal. However, I have the same symptoms again as I had before I was diagnosed. Dizziness, panicky feelings, heart palpatations, sweating, and weight gain. Do you think I should be re-tested and if it's returned, can I go on any medication? I have an appointment with a cardiologist on Monday to make sure that it's not heart related.

Would retest to be certain, then talk to your doctor about other possible reasons besides thyroid you would have these symptoms.
