Hi. I'm not sure if this is thyroid related or not. I have been getting a swollen type throat feeling and very hot feeling in my throat that I feels like it goes the whole way down to my stomach. But no reflux.
The odd thing is I ran out of Tums and found out it only last for 20 minutes to a 1/2 hour and then is usually gone. Then it may or may not come back for a few hours. I'm also getting very intense headaches that only last maybe 10 seconds to maybe 5 minutes tops and they are gone.
The only time I take Tums now is if I have reflux issues (maybe every other day). And I only take regular aspirin if the headaches just won't let up or start coming faster and harder in which will make me sweat but my fever never seems to go over 98.2. At least I'm saving money on pills. LOL
I've been having a lot of LOL ??? hypo or hyper symptoms .....cold very easy in 72 degree home (yet sweat easy), muscle spasms threw out body, aches and pains, headaches, heart palps (normal for me, though lately intensified), puffiness in face, edema, itching all over, hair thinning, bla bla bla whine whine whine. LOL So tired of complaining.
NOTHING IS CUT AND DRY. All I believe look pretty normal
Last TSH was .98, FT4 .066 and T4 6.9 on Nov. 13th 2008
On July 28th 2008 results were:
PTH-minerals: Thyroid Function:
PTH-serum 34 (15-50) T-UPT 39.2 (32.0 -48)
Calcium 9.5 (8.9-10.1) T4 5.9 (6.1 - 12.2)
INOR phosphorus 3.2 (2.5-4.5) FTl 5.8 (5.9 - 13.1)
Creatinine 0.7 (0.6-1.1) T3-TOT 105 (87 -178)
TSH 1.13 (.34 - 5.6)
Thyroid-AB:
Thyroperox-AB 0.7 (<9.0)
Thyroglobn-AB <1.8 secom (<4.0) Calcium usually runs between 9.6 - 11, GFR-AL 84, TIBC 524
hsCRP down to 6, ferritin 29, WBC 11
I take .25 of Levothyroxine once daily, Lopressor 50mg twice daily, Lipitor 10 mg once daily, Diazide/Maxide 50/25 once daily, and low dose aspirin.
Was told and it's in my medical pages that I have hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, copd and hypoglycemia. I was put in the lipitor for my hsCRP yet my chol. is rising dispite a pretty decent diet.
I'm so confused on what is causing what. Anyhow after saying all of that I was just wondering if this hot feeling in my throat could be thyroid related. Also if I find a good Endo in 2009 could they handle most of these issues minus the heart issues? Thank you in advance;
