hyperactive thyroid

[jen699]

I have been ill for about two months.. finally my dr did blood work and found by tsh is slightly surpressed. i have lost 15 lbs and am very weak. my I feel like I am losing muscle. with my tsh at .29 slightly surpressed would all this be caused by my thyroid. Also, my throat hurts but my goiter is smaller and tsh surpressed. what does all this mean. My dr just prescribed a Betta blocker until I can get into the endoncron dr in 4 dys. Will they hurt me? my heart rate is usually normal ... but pounds at time . I can feel it in my neck. Just so odd...

My endo dr. says the throat thing for me is being anxious...not being able to swallow right...I told him I couldnt decide things..dumb things..should I sit back or forward...or walking in circles..trying to remember things
It will get better

YES! the throat thing kills me. that was one of my first symptoms, along with i know im sorry TMI but real thick mucus and i always feel like i have to swallow.  And the anxiety yeah i felt like i should have been seeing the doctor for antidepressants rather than thyroid issues! So hang in there i know it ***** but hopefully we will both see good changes ahead!

thank you for your words of wisdom and support. I have been so very scared. Been pretty health all of my life and then Bamm!! wow I just cannot believe how long it takes them to make their diagnosis and how weak they let you get!! and the snappy and crying all of the time ... omg that is me all day long. my kids think I'm a nut case!!
well good luck to both of you and keep me informed and I will check this site daily so maybe I can be of some help, once I see the endo dr. Is anyone's voice odd  or do they feel like something is in their throat? Is that the anxiety that this all causes?

Hello and welcome.  I also have hyper...Ive lost approx. 50 lbs since May of this year...muscle weakness was one of my first signs..going up steps was almost impossible..feeling like I couldnt pull myself up..Feeling my heart beat all thru my body..especially at night when I tried to sleep...I feel exhausted but cant sleep...very unusual for me..my dr. put me on methimazole..which is making me feel somewhat better...Atenolol for heart palpitations...

I still get the shakes..I shake more when I am standing... panic attacks are better.
getting nauseated.

Can be scarey feeling your heart rate.. hang in there..you will get fixed up.

Oh and snappy..I took everything to heart..cried alot...just felt like I was going crazy.

hi jen,
i have lost 15 lbs also and feel very weak and the dr tells me it is all from my thyroid whech controls your metabolism. I was just diagnosed so i havent been to the endocrine yet either so i have no idea what to expect.  i also feel like im hyper all the time and cant catch my breath.   hope this helps
