Hello doctor. I have hypothyroidism for the last 4 years. Currently, I am on Thyronorm 50. My thyroid profile is normal, and TSH is 2.1. Since June, I have been feeling occasional ectopic beats. I get a funny sensation in my chest followed by a hard beat, which then goes away. Is this due to my thyroid condition? This causes anxiety, which seems to trigger even more ectopic beats. Please help.

Your thyroid is well controlled (TSH 2.1) and is unlikely the cause of ectopic beats. Occasional ectopic beats are common and can increase with anxiety, caffeine, dehydration, or lack of sleep. Practice deep breathing and hydration, and limit tea/coffee to help reduce them. If palpitations become frequent, prolonged, or are associated with dizziness or chest pain, consult your doctor. You can book an ECG and Electrolytes test to check heart rhythm and rule out imbalances.

I have irregular periods, and my blood report shows that my prolactin level is quite high. My gynecologist has prescribed tablets to help regulate my periods, but I am concerned about the elevated prolactin. Should this be treated separately, and what could be the reason for the high prolactin level?

Hi doctor, tomorrow my hysterectomy is scheduled and in the pre operative blood test report thyroid has been detected. The doctor advised me to take Thyroxin 50 before coming to the hospital tomorrow. I also take Olmighty 20 mcg daily for hypertension. Could you please suggest if it is a normal procedure to take the thyroid medicine? I am too stressed about it. Any help would be appreciable. Thank you.
