Question 1

I'm looking at my daughter's diagnostic report, and her TSH level is 8.7. From what I understand, it should be under 5.5. She's only 11 years old, so I'm just wondering if this is normal for her age or if there's something we need to address. Any advice on what steps we should take?

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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.
