Im really worried because I can feel my heart rate is really high and fast, even when I'm just resting. Its been at 94-95 bpm since this afternoon, and I'm not sure why. I have hypothyroidism and Im on 25 mcg of thyronorm. Could that be affecting my heart rate? I'm kinda scared. Any advice would really help.
Given the situation, it's essential to take precautions. Consult a doctor immediately, as cat scratchesbites can transmit rabies and tetanus. Even without visible wounds or symptoms, it's crucial to consider post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies. Tetanus injection is recommended, especially since your last booster was in 2016. Antirabies injection might be necessary, depending on the doctor's assessment. Don't delay; seek attention within 24-48 hours.

I'm concerned about my TSH level, which is 18.24. Is this considered dangerous? What does it say about the state of my thyroid? I've already done tests like T3, T4, and checked for anti-thyroid antibodies. Could you give me some advice on how to manage or control this?
A TSH level of 18.24 suggests hypothyroidism, which means your thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormones. It's good that you've undergone comprehensive tests, including T3, T4, and anti-thyroid antibodies, to assess the cause. Treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, and I recommend consulting your healthcare provider for a tailored treatment plan to bring your levels into balance.
