I had a thyroid storm in October 2016. It affected my eyes and heart rate, with palpitations, heat intolerance, being hot all the time. I was treated with methimazole and propranolol. I was advised by the eye specialist to have a thyroidectomy ASAP which I did mid December,but just checked my labs and found the TSI to be really high. What happens now? Do my eyes continue to get worse? Can it be helped? Do I go blind?
Your want body and mind to be good now and scary thyroid can convinced - you are in a situation and need to DO something ASAP! Its not true or should be acted in all senerios. You have possibilities to regain and heal better than ever - EVEN repairing or "cure" ( for a better word) your entire condition utilizing this full term pregnancy. I'd hate to see that be the case after a hastful act to abort - then find out it wasn't the right thing to do.
I am hyperthyroid since 2011,I lost a baby after birth due to it(didn't know it was thyroid)in 2013 march I had another baby.who is okay and well.I'm 5weeks pregnant now.what do I do.which drugs is best for me now.on carbimazole and propranolol but have stopped as I confirmed been pregnant.
Two weeks ago, I had a Supraventricular Tachycardia Fibrillation (I have a heart murmur from birth and trivial and mild regurgitation of mitral and tricuspid valves).
What I need to know is.....
Is there a BIG possibilty of me getting thyroid storm after RAI as the last episode of fibbrillation made me feel like I was going to die. I have been checked by my Cardio since and ultraosund shows no clots or damage and same results as from ultrasound 2 years ago.
That isn't a thyroid storm. A thyroid storm is an emergency situation and requires medical intervention.
What you probably had was a whole mess of symptoms from being hypo and having high antibodies. The thyroid regulates body temp so that was probably the start of that attack. It is very difficult for some of us to be out in the heat doing anything physical, let alone just sitting. :)
I always use an ice pack behind my neck and in front to cool myself down when that starts happening to me.
You get over medicated. Too much medication. I have been over medicated before and became hyper years after my TT.
You could also have re growth of remaining thyroid tissue. It has happened, rare, but it does.
If you are getting hyper symptoms please let your doctor know. That is why you need to make sure you get your levels checked periodically.
these drugs quieten down the symptoms of the overactive thyroid, by blocking the adrenaline-like effects of thyroid hormones. Propranolol tablets are the most frequently used."
It is likely your doctor will follow up with you in the coming weeks and monitor your levels and decide what to do after that. Once your thyroid levels are under control, you chances of conceiving will greatly improve.
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.
