Is synthroid for hypo or hyperthyroid
Common Questions and Answers about Is synthroid for hypo or hyperthyroid
synthroid
Is it standard procedure to use 
I should also have mentioned that you will notice the recommendation is to adjust FT3 and FT4 levels to about midrange (which is where most of us feel neither hypo nor hyper). Individually, that will vary some; the point is to feel neither hypo nor hyper. If you aren't getting enough Synthroid, you will feel hypo; if you are getting too much, you will feel hyper.
Good news, was great, it was not cancerous, BUT when he left a message, he told me to just take my Synthroid 50mcg. With really no diagnosis if this is hyper or hypo, I decided to pull up my records (which you can do at this one hospital facility. But hey, why not, it's my own information) and the radiologist says at the end of his results that I have Hyperthyroid which he suggest Grave Disease. I tried to call my dr and ask lots of questions, but their office was close early.
s it is very common to start out having swings from hyper to hypo, and can be a rough roller coaster for a bit. Third, your levels are hypo and it is common for hypo and hyper symptoms to be very similar and sometimes the same. It will take a couple of weeks for meds to begin to regulate your levels.
She said that I have to wait three weeks for the Synthroid to get in my system and for it to work. I, then, told her that I undestand what she is telling me but the symptoms of my HYPERthyroid is back. She said that she doesnt know what to tell me and that the doc wont be back til Dec 6. So I hung up on her.
My question is that if any of you guys know why my hyper symptoms are back please help me.
Hypo for 15 years started at 50 synthroid then 100 synthroid 5 years ago. No to Hash's. They just found out I was Hyper 5 weeks ago thru routine yearly check. Just wondering when TSH would start to go back to normal levels. Heart doc will not do cardioversion til levels of TSH and FT4 are normal. FT4 is getting there but TSH hasn't moved in 5 weeks.
I'm a 27 y/o male and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes back in June 1998. Four years later, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and tested positive for antibodies. Went on Synthroid and had my dosage increased over the years from 75mcg up to 137mcg in October 2007. Shortly after my dosage increase in in Oct - around Halloween, I began experiencing sinus tachycardia, high blood pressure, anxiety, restlessness, racing thoughts, etc. All the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
I was diagnosed with Graves at 24. Had RAI by the age of 26 and have been taking Synthroid sice I was 28. My TSH is .044 and I know that is low. It has been there a few years because this is usually where I feel good. I was higher for a few years and still battled with weight and other Hypo issues. I am very healthy. I eat well and work out several times a week.
Over the past year I have been dealing with some issues that I thought were maybe related to menopause.
I decided to switch to a new Endocrinologist and he told me that because I was consistently low for 18 weeks and experiencing HYPER symptoms to get off synthroid temporarily for 4 weeks so he can get a baseline of where my TSH actually is without any synthroid as well as to see if I was going through Hashitoxicosis (hypo/hyper cycle). He also stated that I could have been overmedicated.
On the left lobe, there was a slightly lighter area on a small section that was just very slightly lighter than the right lobe. I had no nodules or goiters. My T4 is normal. My T3 is abnormal and my TSH is hyper. My TSH last one was 0.015. My free T3 was 5.2, which was high by my labs standards. My TSI test was 128% of baseline, which by my labs range <140, was considered normal. And yet, my doctor still said, you have Grave's..
Why is it some endos I've seen in person won't admit the fluctuations with Hashis and a normal TSH level? (Just venting). I know I've had bouts of hypo and hyper with a normal TSH. Their response is always the same. "There's something else wrong. You're TSH is in the normal range. You couldn't have been hypo or hyper." I've been thouroughly checked and there's nothing else wrong! Maybe it's about perfect timing with the thyroid blood work.
m hyperthyroid but my symptoms feel like hypo. Although when I look up symptoms for both...they often look similar! Im tired all the time!
My TSH was 0.046 with ref range of .450-4.50
T4 free(direct) 1.58 ref range 0.82-1.77
T3 free 3.2 ref range 2.0-4.
It's been two years since my RAI treatment and my doctor put me on levothyroxin too soon. I found myself having symptoms of hyperthyroid so he lowered the dose to 50. I was having stomach trouble with levothyroxin generic so I switched to Synthroid which made me feel better. He also put me on Toprol for high blood pressure. I was a mess and feeling very weak due to low appetite and constant stomach issues like IBS so went off Synthroid.
My Dr. just gave me a prescription for Synthroid for hypothyroidism. My TSH was at 3.502 and at 2.921 a few days later. I have several hyperthyroid symtoms, including heart palpitations, hair loss, anxiety, accelerated heart rate, infrequent periods, tremors, fatigue, sleeplesness, and muscle weakness. I think the only symptom I am lacking is weight loss. I am actually gaining weight. Does this diagnosis sound right?
So I had to switch to a combination of mostly Synthroid and supplementing with Armour (I was on just Synthroid in the past and it was not cutting it for me). I'm not sure what you can do about your problems with the synthetic. Perhaps you could try a different brand of the synthetic in combination with Armour?
