Common Questions and Answers about Anxiety symptoms with thyroid problems
anxiety
Thyroid problems most definitely cause symptoms of anxiety! Especially since you've had some dosage adjustments with the Synthroid and haven't been well regulated. Now, that isn't uncommon either, many people require frequent lab tests and adjustments to find the right dose that will work for you. Metabolism changes can cause the Synthroid to not be as effective....and a person's metabolism can change from time to time for all kinds of reasons.
Keep working with your doctor..

So, I've had a few troubling symptoms for the past 4 months (some symptoms for a longer period of time). Suffice it to say that after being told I had asthma, I then came to find out that it was chronic sinusitis. At my last visit, the doctor felt along my neck and asked me about any recent weight gain, tiredness, etc. I said yes. He told me that he thought that I may have hypothyroidism.

I have asked for testing on several occassions for Thyroid problems due to the multiple symptoms that I have. My labs (which my Dr.s usually only check the TSH level) usually are in the normal range. Many times they are only a few tenths in range of what the labs consider to be the normal range. The last TSH test (over 1 year ago) came back .39 on a range of .35-5.0. I am currently waiting on new lab results.
Exactly. I've been trying to get help for her for 4 years and people don't listen to want I'm saying at all. She was a thin child, no eating very much, almost under weight. Now, in the last 2-3 years she's put on so much weight and she often doesn't eat more then 1200 calories a day. She seems to have all of the symptoms of thyroid problems. The difficulty here is to find a doctor. I'm from Quebec, Canada and there's a shortage of doctors. We are you from?
I was first diagnosed with hashis in the late 20s but I was having hyper symptoms that we managed with tranquilizers. In the following years the doctors never ran the correct antibody tests or the antibodies no longer showed up and the doctors said It was probably just anxiety. At at 40 I had a TSH reading of 6 and started Armor, my doctor originally tried to put me on 50mcg of synthroid but I had too much anxiety.
vanished off all of my nails, every sign of an over active thyroid basically. I am now experiencing problems with my cycle whereupon periods are getting lighter and lighter each month and I am experiencing headaches and rages a few days after my cycle.
I've been tested for Pheo also because I get adrenalin surges at times, hence the rages, sometimes anxiety symptoms, or sometimes just feeling "wired" or hyperactive for no reason, the pheo tests were negative.
The thing is I seem to get so close to them figuring this out then they send me home with the same generalised anxiety disorder they relabelled me with after my daughters still birth - yes I was anxious being pregnant again afterwards and yes I keep feeling panicky but I'm happily married not depressed and run a successful business whilst being mum - what do I do when I see the dr any advice

Hello I'm currently dealing with all the symptoms related to hypothyroidism but its been a strange and painful past couple months. Im a 23 year old male whos very physically active. Problems began about 3 months ago, first my hair began to fall out and became very thin. Then I started getting crazy anxiety and my heart would be racing uncontrollably. This was a big concern for me, I would pace around my house for hours. Try calming myself down but couldn't.
xray person said thyroid functioning at about 19 on a scale of 10 to 41 being normal and thyroid looked to be working. i have all the symptoms of hyperthyroid and thyroid problems they say but blood test look almost normal. question.... for those that suffer with thyroid problems does this sound familiar? all these various problems. i stay cold and just feel achy all the time. oh they have diagnoised me with fibromyalgia and cfs as well... maybe for lack of answer for anything else.
Low vitamin D is common with thyroid problems as well.
I'm surprised you were not told to take a daily supplement.
If time is not a huge issue, I would see an Endo. An ENT might be able to go a long way on the thyroid and parathyroid aspect, but adrenal issues may be overlooked.
The problem is finding a good Endo that isn't swamped.
My doctor tells me my levels are fine and that I am just having anxiety. So I call the drug company and they tell me that this is what happens with this type of drug if you change from one brand to another and there is nothing I can do until that medication is completely out of my body which can take about 6 weeks from when you stop taking it. So my question is... Has anyone else experienced this? and what did you do to get through it?
They are depressants used to treat anxiety and panic attacks. Another of these is Xanax, a drug I have to take along with beta blockers to treat my thyroid illness.
When you were prescribed the ativan, the doc had reason to believe you had anxiety, but that can be caused by many other illnesses, including thyroid, parathyroid, and other glandular problems. In women, this anxiety can also be caused by incorrect hormonal balances, and/or estrogen problems.
TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by so many variables that at best it is an indicator to be considered along with more important indicators such as symptoms, and also the levels of the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4 (not the same as Total T3 and Total T4). In addition, when taking thyroid meds, TSH is frequently suppressed, making it even less useful.
