I've been prescribed Thyronorm 50 mg because my TSH level is 12.8, even though my T3 and T4 are normal. But I'm still experiencing body pain and weakness, and it's making me feel uneasy. On top of that, I've had throat pain for several days now and it hasn't gotten better. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?
use medicine

I'm kind of worried about my health. My pulse is usually around 90 to 115, and my blood pressure is about 80 over something like 90 to 125 over 40 most of the time. Sometimes I get chest pain, and when I exercise, I feel really breathless. It's strange because my reports have been normal for the past 6 or 7 months. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 20 months ago, and I've gone from taking 222 carbimazol daily to just 1. I've noticed that my T4 levels slightly increase every couple of months, but they're still in the normal range. So, should I be worried about the chest pain and high pulse rate, or is this okay?
Based on your symptoms and medical history of hyperthyroidism, it is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure closely. The chest pain and elevated pulse rate could be related to your thyroid condition. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. I recommend taking Propranolol 10mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
