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 Hi, everyone! 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.
1413042 tn?1281770262 The endo has asked for another blood test in 2 weeks time. So, should I discontinue Propranolol or take it for 2 more weeks? Or try to wean off? Would there be any adverse effects if I stop it now? How much heart rate & BP is reduced by Propranolol? Will I get hypotension if I continue with Propranolol? Please suggest.
1413042 tn?1281770262 Last time my endo asked me to go off Propranolol. I am a bit worried about this. I think my situation was kept in check by this beta blocker. If I quit, I may get the same tachycardia and palpitations I had earlier. My earlier resting heart rate was 100+ with BP being around 140/90. The endo has asked for another blood test in 2 weeks time. So, should I discontinue Propranolol or take it for 2 more weeks? Or try to wean off? Would there be any adverse effects if I stop it now?
Avatar n tn I have been diagonalized with Hyperthyroidism since the 24th of May. I am a 51 year old female. I have been on Methimazole for three weeks (5MG for first week, 10MG, the second week, and 15MG for another week). My blood work result is as followed: TSH <0.005, T4 2.15, Glucose 137, Bilirubin 1.9, and Thyroid Stim Immunoglobulin 3.42. I suspected that this started in late 2020 when I start losing weight. I lost a total of 25lb, and I am currently weighing at 125lb and I am 5’5.
Avatar m tn Which is better for follow up for hyperthyroidism? Is it TSH or FT4. I have Graves’ disease for over 10 years and am currently on carbimazole 5 mg and Propranalol 5 mg once a day. Recent reports show TSH < 0.01 and FT4 as 21.1 ( normal range 9-21).
Avatar f tn I was just called by my doctor told I was hyperthryoid and that they wanted me to see a specialist, given propranolol and then nothing...I was just told I would see a specialist in May. I am afraid that since I have medicaid (I have been out of work since I graduated from grad school last May) that I will not receive much help and will be seen as a pest. I was just wondering if how I am feeling under medication is just me, could I be making my symptoms worse?
1504778 tn?1321394645 They perscribed me Propraolol to take one in the morning around 9.30 am and one in the evening around 6.30 pm , the pills are working alright and I haven't really had palpotations during activatys that would normally bring them on. I wanted to ask if anyone knows anything about them doe? I'm getting slightly more aches then I normally would? Is my heart just adjusting to the pill?
Avatar f tn I am a 25 year old female and have had sub clinical hyperthyroidism, with varying TSH levels for the last year and a half. I was first diagnosed when I was in an intensive work environment and I had a panic attack (the first and only in my life). The next day I went to the doctor and I had a fever, I was hypertensive (150/95), and my heart was over 100 bpm at rest. This followed a period of a few months of diarrhea 5x a day and sleeping only a few hours every night. I attributed it to stress.
Avatar n tn But I used to get panic attacks in form of tachycardia and palpitations. I have been taking Propranolol for last 3 months and have tapered it off to 5 mg 2 times a day. Because of the persistent symptoms of panic attacks, my endocrinologist referred me to a psychiatrist. She diagnosed me as having Mixed Anxiety Depression. She prescribed me: 25 mg Sertraline - Once in a day 0.
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?
Avatar n tn (Used to take 120mg of NP thyroid) Removal of fluoride has reversed my condition too rapidly for my body’s hormones (it happened in 1 month). Displayed Hyperthyroid symptoms in April. Went to ER 3 times due to heart scares - checked out ok. I was completely off thyroid medication when I developed a heart flutter. Had to go back on a small dose (12.5mcg synthroid) to make it less, but now showing signs of hyperthyroid symptoms again.
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?
Avatar m tn When it happens and I look in the mirror there is no visible shaking and the feeling is very minute but I am concerned.
Avatar f tn Then I had a migraine aura for 10 minutes (zigzag vibrating patterns, large C shape, in both eyes), followed by a headache in my right temple. A couple of days later (yesterday) I woke up with the zigzags at 6am, and had them again at 9am. I have NEVER EVER had any visual issues before, or ever had a migraine. I only get mild headaches about once a month, so this is really unusual for me, and worrying!
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 m tn After switching from Tapazole to PTU + anti-histhamine, which did nothing to help the hives and itch. The doctor is asking to stop taking propranolol which he suspects is the cause. The thing is propranolol has been keeping my heart from beating like crazy all this time and to stop it completely is a bit risky don't you think? Just wondering has anyone ever had propranolol causing hives? Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn s is, typically, associated with hypothyroidism, it can be characterized by periods of hyperthyroidism, in the early stages.. I agree with gimel, that you should post the results of the tests you have. Be sure to include reference ranges, which vary lab to lab and have to come from your own report.
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 Normal body weight 115 (30 yr F) but gained 12 pounds in 3 days after start of propranolol. Continued to gain an additional 13 in the next 2 weeks. Began methimazole one-and-a-half weeks after propranolol. I normally eat 1900 calories per day w/moderate activity. Could I have gained 25 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks on that sort of caloric intake? Or is it the medication? DR said I had some fluid retention but made no further comment about the weight gain.
1494095 tn?1288784877 I recently posted that I was on propranolol 2x day for the heart palpitations associated with Graves Disease, I have been on the meds for 4 days (today is day # 4), not only has this not stopped the palpitations but they've INCREASED, and the discomfort i causes is getting much harder to bear. How long should it take before the propranolol begins working?
Avatar f tn can propranolol be used for migraine prophylaxis in a patient with heart rate of 60 and family history of diabetes
Avatar n tn It may be primary (without known cause and usually starts during childhood or adolescence and persists all life) or secondary (as part of an underlying condition like Hyperthyroidism or similar endocrine diseases and dermatological conditions like eczema, psoriasis). I think getting a thyroid profile tested in the lab may help and also please consult a dermatologist to find out the confirmatory diagnosis as treatment depends on the same.
