i would def. get a second opinion. I went through the racing heart and the shakes and went to a doctor and was told that i needed to stop smoking. She put me through a bunch of lung tests and everything, only to be told "everything seems to be fine" then prescribed me chantix. to stop smoking! well i didn't take the chantix because i new something wasn't right! within a month i was so bad with the lose of hair and tired, the shakes,no energy and my heart felt like it was coming out of my chest everytime i walked a few distants or went up stairs that i went to another doctor and he imm. did blood work and asked me about family history. i'm adopted so i don't know anything. My labs came back and he said i was extremely HYPER...i didn't even know what a thyroid was.....so he sent me to a specialist.....which was comfirmed..i had hyperthyrioism.....so you know your body.....get a second opinion..just a suggestion. good luck!
