synthroid

Avatar n tn Just a guess and a thought...angina can be a side effect of Synthroid (or any other brand or generic levo). Google "synthroid + angina" if you'd like to read up and see if that seems to be what you're experiencing. Do you know your FT3, FT4 and TSH levels? And the FT3 and FT4 reference ranges? If you're slightly overmedicated (as defined by FT3, NOT TSH), it could be causing this.
Avatar f tn Don't know why they should have different effects since they are both T4. Did you change anything else during the time you switched that could have affected absorption or conversion to T3? What were your FT4 and FT3 levels before and after the switch to Synthroid?
Avatar n tn I have no idea what to do and though I have only been off the Synthroid for 4 days, the side effects have not abated. Anybody have any thing to say to help me understand what is going on? I'm so upset and exhausted from lack of sleep....I was feeling FINE before Synthroid!!!
Avatar f tn My Endo told me when starting out on Synthroid and also each time he raises my dose that I may have some palpitations or "heart flutters." Each person is different. I have noticed them a bit, but nothing terrible. He said it should go away within a week or two after in your case, starting the med...in mine, when he raises it. Nothing to be alarmed about.

Avatar n tn in RARE instances, hair loss within the first few months of starting this medecine. This effect is usually temporary as your body adjusts to this medecine. Etc. Question: 1/ I read a lot about people loosing their hair. Does it grow back to its normal state? 2/ Is it common to GAIN weight while taking Synthroid? If so, how hard to go back to normal weight and after how long? 3/ Is it more difficult to get pregnant while on Synthroid?
894666 tn?1274097896 Based on somewhat limited information, I would suspect that you are still hypo. Your free T3 and free T4 are both on the low side of their range and although TSH is a poor indicator of hypothyroidism by itself, yours is above the currently recommended range of .3 - 3.0. If you will read my post to moinkhan, just below, I think you will find some valuable information about the importance of free T3, and its correlation to hypo symptoms.
Avatar f tn gain which really started in July when doctor switched me to a lower dose synthroid due to the readings I was getting. Maybe the fact that I am a life time member of Wgt Watcher (and not because I have lost much) prepared me for this diet.
Avatar f tn I take Synthroid for hypothyroidism. I wonder if it can cause pain in joints. For me, its specific to my shoulders. I'm okay at rest, but reaching, stretching, donning/doffing clothing -- causes sharp pain that lingers.
909086 tn?1242660764 So, I called my doctor's office and requested new labs to test for Free T3 and Free T4. I'm going to have get my blood work done this week. I currently just go to my PCP, as I've had no luck with endos in the state of Delaware. I've been to 2 endos in the past couple of years. Both of which would NOT even increase my Synthroid beyond 50mcg because of the palpitations.

Avatar n tn I've been on armour about a week and half for my hypo and have just recently started to feel some side effects. I've started getting some pains in my chest, it feels like it's right up under my heart, mostly during the night or in the morning. They don't really last long but I definitely notice it when its there. I am also very aware of my heart beat, even though it's not racing and at a normal rate, around the time these happen.
