Avatar n tn Once I was diagnosed, I was relief, but my anxiety and sleeplessness didn’t go away. I was on 10MG Propranolol as needed basis. However, to make the anxiety go away, I must take it three times a day. About 18 days into the Methimazole, I started to take only one or two 10MG Propranolol. I think I may not need to take it today or even just one. I have heard that Propranolol, beta blocker, can also create insomnia. However, I still can’t sleep.
Avatar f tn I have been trying to do some reading on it so i will be able to understand more. He is currently on tapazole and propranolol. Since beginning the tapazole, he has been having major mood swings. He realizes that he is having them but doesnt seem to try and control it, or maybe he cant control it. I am at a loss of what to do. I dont know what to say to him because i dont know what type of mood he will be in. He can have several ups and downs within one day.
Avatar f tn So last week I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism after being shaking, anxious and loosing a lot of weight the month before. My blood tests confirmed hyperthyroidism and I also found in the ultrasound that I have one cyst on each side of my thyroid (2 total). I am currently on propranolol (40 mg twice a day) as well as aspirin and amoxicillin (just incase I have a small infection going on). The first day I took the medication I felt amazing, like a brand new person.
Avatar n tn I am a 30 year old male and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I also had several episodes of panic attacks. After 4 months of treatment with carbimazole & propranolol, I am now clinically euthyroid and there's no more panic attacks & tachycardia. I have been doing brisk walking for last one month. I started slowly, but now I walk briskly on plain surface, slopes and stairs. I walk approx 2 miles everyday for 45 minutes. I have been still advised to be on Carbimazole 20 mg.
Avatar f tn For those who think Birth control pills might cause hyperthyroidism because you stopped taking it- I don't think that's true. I have been on the pill for 10 years. I never stopped taking it and I still developed Hyperthyroidism. If this also helps... I have a twin sister and she doesn't have Hyperthyroidism. However, my mom and my aunt has had hyperthyroidism. I got unlucky I guess. I am taking propranolol to help calm down my heart rate. It goes over 115 -120 sometimes.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism last august and have been on propranolol and methimazole since. I was taking four methimazole and now my specialist increased it to 5 and that really makes me sad. I'm gaining weight and feel so awful about myself. Yes i am feeling better which is worth alot but my hot flashes are insane. My pituitary gland is what the specialist refers to as "sleeping" and so I was wondering if you have any suggestions as to how to wake it up.
Avatar f tn i was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and the dr.s told me that that was my magor reason why i coudnt get pregnant,now they just gave propanolol 20mg i want to know if this medication helps my thyroid hormones in its level it sopost to be and if it can help me get pregnant?
2899052 tn?1436831245 I'm recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism with Graves' disease. The endocrinology doctor prescribed me Methimazole 10mg (3 tablets) in morning, that's 30mg. I also have to take Propranolol (3 times a day) every 8 hours to control my palpitation. I'm very concerned about take Methimazole because I heard it will give me liver problem and I'm very scared of taking radioactive because it can harm my eyes. Am I wrong? I need to know if they are they safe?
1413042 tn?1281770262 I had this condition for over 10 years and was never put on Propranolol. I was completely well and put off all medicines. Then on 11th July, I got a bad panic attack. The BP was 180/110 and pulse rate was 150. I kept getting panic attacks, which the endo concluded to be due to hyperactive thyroid gland. Then from 23rd July 2010, I was put on Propranolol & NeoMercazole (Carbimazole). I take 10 mg Propranolol twice a day and do not get any fluctuations.
Avatar f tn I have Graves disease and was put on Methimzole and Propranolol. The combination relieved my hyper symptoms and I was losing weight while on those meds. Eventually it tapered off. I have read thatbwhen you are Hyper you eat much more, I didn't find that to be true, I was so hyper, I could barely eat. I loss over 15 lbs. Once me levels lowered, they did keep me on the dosage ( it was 10 mg per day).
Avatar m tn Not sure why he increased Propranolol and not Carbimazole. I hope the Endo corrects that.
Avatar f tn I have had shaking hands and legs, rapid heartbeat, trouble swallowing, sweating, anxiety, depression, mood changes and shorten periods now for years and thought it was just me. The doctor started me on propranolol but it seems to not be working as well as it did in the beginning. I feel like I am going crazy.
1504778 tn?1321394645 Hey I'm 18 iv had palpotations everyday for the last 5months or so and chest aches and pains, I went to the cardiolagist and they checked my heart with the tred mill test, heart echo and two 24houre ecgs's they said my hearts well structured and looks like a healthy heart and said what I might be getting is a early heart beat called a ectopic heartbeat.

Avatar f tn 8 and the lowest is .3. I can recognize when I am hyperthyroid, and have managed with taking propranolol as needed. I feel fine when my TSH returns to a higher level. More recently, I have moved and started an intense school program. I started having hyperthyroid symptoms and have had severe anxiety and only slept a few hours a night and had diarrhea up to 10x a day, and lost 10 lbs in a few weeks. I felt so ill that I could not stay in school. I had my thyroid tested and the TSH was .
Avatar f tn In May 2010, my family doctor sent me to an endocrinologist after blood tests showed decreasing TSH and I had had some symptoms of hyperthyroidism for several months prior. The endocrinologist found a nodule, and did a scan which indicated it was hot. He also ran the antibodies test for Graves which came back negative. Listed below are my lab results (2 different labs) and medications: LAB RANGE: TSH 0.34 – 4.82 mU / L Mar 6.10 TSH - .01 LAB RANGE: TSH 0.38 – 5.

Avatar n tn I read Sertraline reacts with Propranolol. It makes Propranolol more toxic and can give me low BP and bradycardia. Recently my BP was a bit high (140/90) and pulse rate was 72. Shall I take the psychiatric medicines and how should I schedule the medications without suffering a lot?
Avatar f tn Sorry if this was ask before, just arrived at this forum, I'm diagnosed with hyperthyroidism the doctor put me on Mercazole 1 twice a day. My problem is that I can't seem to lose weight, and I'm terrified if I use this medicine I will gain more weight I'm already 20kg's overweight? what must I do? if I look at how sick this thing can make u......
Avatar n tn 22% Am also on 15mg of propranolol to help, but it’s not controlling the flutter. Scared to switch to metoprolol (25mg). Questions: Will the flutter resolve once my pituitary gland reaches a normal level? Should I switch beta blockers from Propranolol to Metoprolol? How long will it take for my TSH levels to reach a normal level if I slowly decrease or stop medication?
Avatar f tn I feel trapped between the fear of having more of those SVTS and that disgusting Adenosine, or staying on the Propranolol which is clearly messing my body up and giving me other problems. The Endocrinologist says I will need to be on the beta blockers for at least 6 weeks while my Thyroid responds to the Carbimazole :-( Sorry for the essay, but if anyone out there can give me any advice, or share their experiences, I would be really very grateful.
Avatar m tn These are usually intention tremors and other causes which need ruling out is alcohol withdrawal, hyperthyroidism, and etc. Treatment would include medicines like propranolol, which blocks adrenaline related neurotransmitters, and primidone which is an antiseizure drug. Consult your neurologist for the indication of therapy and the relevant treatment should be given if indicated. Take care.
Avatar f tn My symptoms are not being able to sleep, increased heart rate (sometimes with an extra beat and sometimes skips a beat), terrible shaking, i forget everything, cant concentrate, headaches, weight loss with increased appetite, i have a goiter, feel like i have excessive amounts of energy but dont even want to move, constantly thirsty, very heat intolerant and now that the weather is changing, i am staying cold, excessive sweating, and the list goes on but i cant think of them at the moment...
Avatar n tn I have had resting tachycardia with arrythmia for at least 6 months, and at the same time I developed an intermittent heavy feeling in my chest (at the sternum, and slightly to the right). I was put on propranolol 100mg due to the tachycardia, at which time the chest feeling became constant. It worsens at night with a dry cough and I occasionally get a bit weezy. I saw my GP who said I have probably developed asthma and she prescribed an inhaler, which has not helped significantly.
Avatar f tn I have a history of migraines for about twenty years. I quit smoking 7 months ago, and started propranolol 20 mg once a day. I gained 30 pounds. My whole body is sore and Im having episodes where my upper body and sometimes legs just feel so heavy and tired I feel like Im going to pass out. Had a Head CT, Head and Neck CTA, CBC, EKG all were normal. Is it related to migraine? ER doctor said it is anxiety. Oh I stopped celexa five months ago because I was extremely fatigued.
