Worsening Thyroid issues?

[MegsM]

A year  and a half ago I was doing my Medical Assistant Clinicals at my Dr.s office, when inflammation on the right side of my throat raised some concern for her.  Well the ultrasound showed nothing, but my labs came back with Tsh level of 5.2...and I began treatment for hypothyroidism...I responded to treatment very well at first...My energy levels started to come back, I lost about 30 pounds in 10 months, and just felt better all around...but about 5 months ago, I started to become increasingly fatigued, found it impossible to keep weight off, and now for the last 3 months I have had a very hoarse voice with no other illness...I also have been repeatedly told I have bradycardia, a heart murmur, and My Ekg's consistantly show a flat T wave....Should I be concerned that this may all be a sign of a worsening condition? Should I push to be seen by an Endocrinologist vs my Family Practitioner? I'm only 27, and just want to feel like everyone else my age again!

Hi,

you need to give us some more info so we can comment better.

Have you had recent bloodwork?

We'd like to know TSH, FT3 and FT4 (and the reference ranges) if you had them. If you haven't you need to get them done.

What about a repeat ultrasound?

If this is beyond your GP to manage t hen you do need to see an endo.

You need your labs done again as you may need an increase in T4 meds.
When did you have your labs done last?
