I can't give you that type of advice, because I'm not a doctor. Stopping your medications, you could do more damage to both, yourself and your baby, than staying on them.
Have you had your actual thyroid levels tested? While it's necessary to have adequate thyroid hormones to pass along to your baby, you must also keep them under control for your own good.
Yes, stopping the propranolol could affect your heart rate.
She is on 15 mg of methimazole a day and propranolol 4 times a day. At first the levels were not coming down. At our last visit her T3 has moved from a 15.9 to a 7.1. We were very excited to finally see the levels coming down. If her levels are coming down, why does she demonstrate such strong Graves symptoms still...tremors, heat intolorance, eating a lot, nightmares, very moody, joint pain, staring, inability to focus.....
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.
Hi guys! It's been awhile! I got a lot of help here years ago. I've been on the same dose of NP Thyroid for the last several years, I hadn't tested in a long time. I have been under-weight for a few years, but that had seemed to happen in cycles in my life and the previous test to this a couple of years ago was all good.....
Thing that has changed: I had been prescribed Propranolol 30 years ago to prevent migraines.
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.
(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.
I was hyper and said to have all indications of Graves and was started on Carbimazole 30mg daily and Propranolol in 2007, now I am hypo for the last 1-3 months and on only 5mg daily of Carbimazole. I do blood work every two months.
Why am I still on Carbimazole if I am hypo?
I read somewhere you said something to the fact that you may not have Graves if you are now hypo. What did you mean?
I am having weight gain. Tell me what I can do to combat this and I will do it without question?
I also had my thyroid removed 2 yrs ago, making me Hypothryodism. Battling the effects of this everyday has now be compounded by the addition of a Beta Blocker. I ve been prescribed Propranolol 40 mg 3x a day for hand tremors. Since the surgery I gained almost 20 lbs, now that I m on Propranolol...I ve gained an additional 10 lbs in 2 month.
I"m at my wits end, 5ft & now 185 lbs. Although the Propranolol has helped my tremors, I cannot afford this weight gain.
i have sever anxiety and had a blood test few years bak and it ced my thyroid was borderline overactive then wen i was chekd again and saw a specialist it was normal again then in a blood test few months after it was hi again why this happen.
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.
I have been dealing with symptoms of hyper thyroid for almost two months now and am very frustrated. My hair is falling out, I sweat at the drop of a hat, lose my temper over the tiniest thing and my eyes have swelling and irritation. I finally saw an endo last week and she thinks I have Graves but my test results today show free T3 and T4 within the normal range even though TSH is suppressed.
Doctors have been taught that TSH is basically the only test needed to determine a patient's thyroid status. This is expedient but it is false. In reality TSH has only a weak correlation with the acttual thyroid hormones, and a negligible correlation with patient symptoms. So TSH is useful as a diagnostic only when it is at extreme levels. TSH should not be used to determine a patient's medication dosage.

My daughter (6 years old) was diagnosed the beginning of June with Graves. Since then we've been on Methimazole. We started with Atenolol but 3 weeks into it was put on Propranolol 4 times a day to get her heart rate under control. We were told that in a couple of weeks if her numbers weren't down we'd be doing RAI. Next visit the numbers had moved T3 was down from 15.9 to 7.1. We were happy to finally see progress.
m dying, I am 48 year old female with a history of thyroid cancer and take nature-throid. My thyroid levels are low normal but I called my Endo and asked to reduce them just in case it was aggravating my heart. Someone please help me. Any words of wisdom or ideas how to prevent this from happening again?
My thyroidglobulin antibody 12.2 (0.0-4.0), my thyroid peroxidase antibody 8719 (0-59). My thyroid uptake scan 79%. I have daily headaches, can sleep ever but exhausted, my resting hr 80's but any movement like walking to kitchen makes my heart race 120's and i get really short of breath. Does anyone know what this means!!! Help!!!
I’m on Levoxyl.75 4 days a week and .88 3 days. I’m also on propranolol.20mgs twice a day for the MAV and clonazepam.25mgs a day for the anxiety. I feel very tired a lot since starting the clonazepam but endo said to drop the morning dose of propranolol to 10mgs to see if it helps the fatigue. But I think I should drop the thyroid med to .75 5 days and .88 to 2 days. What are your thoughts on all this?
I have just recently been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer and have just recently been dealing with a racing heart that last all day long. Usually I would just assume that this is because of work but it starts as soon as i get out of bed and last all day even if im just laying around being lazy.
I have had several blood test for my thyroid and they all come back fine, I have read that blood testing is not always accurate. I take propranolol for the cardiac arrhythmia and read this drug can interfere with this test.
My question; could ALL of my issues be related to my thyroid? If so, what can I do?
The short answer is that, yes, you can be hyper with negative antibodies.
Have you been diagnosed with postpartum (did they call it "silent" thyroiditis) thyroiditis, then? If so, this type of thyroiditis is considered "temporary" and usually resolves itself eventually. There is often an initial hyper phase, followed by a hypo phase. No antibodies are present with silent thyroiditis. I'm glad to hear you'll be having the uptake scan...
