Please help! Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I have been on levothyroxine 200 mcgs for years. Starting in Jan this year I started having palpitations and rapid heart rate with exertion up in the 120s to 150s depending on what I was doing. The was normal. Heart test all good. Months later and many ER visits Tsh normal. This continued until finally test showed I was hyperthyroidism. Dr stopped my levothyroxine for a month. Started feeling better and was started on 25 mcg of synthroid. After a few days of starting the tachycardia palpitations and shortness of breath back but worse. I can't walk from one room to another without my heart rate jumping into the 120s-130s. If I do anything more strenuous like showering it goes to 150s. This has been going on for over 7 months and I can't get into an endocrinologist until September.

Can you please start by posting your thyroid related lab results?  These should include the TSH, Free T4 and Free T3.  Also, please include reference ranges for the labs you post, since ranges vary from lab to lab and have to come from your own reports.  

We'd like to see the original tests, along with the ones that showed you "hyper", plus any current results.
