I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse. Normal B/P is 120/80 depending on your age. If you are on medication then is proberly the cause, Have you seen your doctor about it. If it goes any higher you could end up in trouble. Go back and see your GP\n\nGloria(BSYA)

Graves disease is an overactive thyroid.  You can develop heart failure if left untreated.  It is serious.  Do not delay in getting treatment for it.  Mine was treated with radiation to the thyroid.  Ask your doc for a referral to an endocrinologist--a doctor who specializes in glandular problems.  Good luck!  By the way--I feel great!!

Go see your doctor and get your thyroid checked, immediatly. You may have a medical issue and they can help. Don't wait, you will regret if something is wrong. Good Luck!

There are a few things it could be. 110 is not a healthy resting heart rate, you definitely should see a Dr. But you could have a heart problem. There's a good possibility that you have SVT (Super Ventricular Tachycardia) Which is where your heart rate increases, and your heart contracts so fast that it is unable to pump blood well. I think you probably need some exercise to lower your resting rate, and you need to see a Dr. about the 160, a heart rate of 160 can cause hypoxia (low blood oxygen) to your organs such as your brain and heart.

I'm confused.  Do you mean the DT's, as in the shakes after going on an alcoholic binge?  If so, I would say YES, as the thyroid gland causes great nervousness in some people.  I would see a doctor.  The thyroid glands can also cause obesity and its opposite.  Medication for the thyroid is very CHEAP, when compared to nearly any other med.

You might want to check with your doctor, it could be something as simple as stress, or could be a hyperthyroid symptom.

Weight gain and depression --- oh, yes!  But it is better than being dead, so I keep trying.  KEEP talking to your doctor or ask his/her nurse.  Also, make sure you are getting your thyroid levels checked.  The problem with just going to a heart doctor is that you may have more than just heart problems.  You might also need to see an endocrinologist (they take care of thyroid and diabetes problems).  The best way to find good doctors is to ask a nurse for names---especially hospital nurses in your area.  Good luck!!

you only have one thyroid and it's in your throat.  underactive causes you to slowly gain weight and lose mental clarity, dry skin and hair is another sign.  You'll lose weight if you get the synthetic replacement hormone though.

You could have a mitral valve prolapse which is common and harmless. They can cause palpitations. Sometimes, a full meal causes your heart to work a little harder to digest which will cause an increase in pulse and more palpitations.

If your hormones are out of whack,  Your period will tell the tale.\nI would tell your doctor that you want answers.  You could be early menopause.  \nDid your mom or dad's mom have early menopause?\nI WOULD NOT sit by and be passive about this. \n \nTell the doctors you want answers.  Be even more aggressive if they are men.\n\nI hope they checked the thyroid.  I hoped they checked your ovaries.  I hope they did a bunch of blood work to test levels of all the chemicals in your blood.  \n\nAre you taking anything that could cause this?  a possible side affect.  Maybe your birthcontrol is the wrong dose if you take any.\n\nGood luck and bless.

I have given several links below to read & perhaps you can read through & understand the different thyroid symptoms & problems.\nBut, before you get to the links, here is some information about myself, plus some symptoms in case anyone coming upon your question may be interested:\nI have low thyroid. If you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: Can you see the floor of your house? That was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!\nAnyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.\nIf you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are: increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.\nI take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. There's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. I hope i've helped you!!

that is true that is a risk factor to make your heart unhealthy, but i think your heart could also be unhealthy for other reasons. im pretty sure my heart has an irregular beat/arrhythmia, and my waist is less than 35 inches. its a good thing to look out for, but there are other things to monitor as well. thanks for the tip though :)

Your TSH is elevated. Normal range is from 0.5 to 5, although some say that it should be from 0.5 to 3. You likely have hypothyroidism. The next step would be to check a free T4 level. If that is low, it confirms hypothyroidism, and means that you would need thyroid hormone replacement (Synthroid). Definitely set up an appointment to talk to your doctor.

It sounds like you have hypothyroidism (your body doesn't produce enough T4). Thyronorm is a replacement for T4.  That is probably why your T3 is low and TSH is high but T4 is mostly normal.  It sounds to me, based on this information, like you need to increase your Thyronorm dose.  Discuss it with your doctor and see if he agrees before you make any medication changes.

OK... visit your doctor, you could have a overactive thyroids gland. I was the same problem ten years ago... I was thin like a stick, but I have curves now ;)

Please don't worry yet...until you get a second opinion. It's like a pap....(if you're a girl) you may have an abnormal pap, get a second one done, and you're fine...but on the other hand, you can have a problem. BUT! You don't know until you get the second opinion/test done.\nIn the meantime, here's some information & great links...especially ones that have to do with cancer & understanding thyroid problems more!\n\nI have low thyroid. I have had it for 10 years. I came about after I had my second child. Most people can do well, but myself, if I even miss a day or two, I get super tired, and VERY cranky. My body literally ate up my thyroid...it's almost non-existent. I am on 300mg of levoxyrothin.\nIf you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: Can you see the floor of your house? That was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!\nAnyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy.
