Common Questions and Answers about Stroke symptoms ppt
stroke
I am at the early stages of PPT (I also have postpartum anxiety) my endocrinologist put me on Tapazole 2 weeks ago. I have a mild soar throat but I believe it's merely the remnants of a cold. However, I am losing an insane amount of hair, above the average hair loss due to postpartum. Is this the combo of thyroid, meds and postpartum... I'm on tapazole 10mg daily dose. Is there something I can do? I had my blood work done on Friday and WBC was normal... does it fluctuate easily?
I have a vague symptome of sudden shutdown of my energy/syncope/shock for only few seconds. No ppt or relieving factors. No pain ,chest symptoms or unusual stress. This problem repeated over two weeks and becomes more frequent lastly. no other medical condition.

Ever since I gave birth to my second son I have had all the classic symptoms of a thyroid issue. Low temp, cant lose weight, rashes, not healing, tired all the time, etc.etc.
They wouldn't do any further testing but I went and had these two antibodies tested with results:
THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODIES 7 HIGH range: < or = 1 IU/mL 01
THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES 2 range: <9 IU/mL 01
Does this mean I have Hashimotos?
Thank you so much.
Not much to add other than time will tell. The importatnt question is are you taking an ATD? Also remember that not everyone is textbook, so you can't always compare things like PPT patterns with what you read on the net. This even holds true with graves/hyper, everyones pattern is different, and many of us don't even have the symptoms on the list, and many of us have symptoms that didn't make the list. You should have a more clear picture after the TSI test is run.
Has your doctor diagnosed post partum thyroiditis (PPT)?
Your TPOab is somewhat elevated, which usually indicates PPT. It's considered a variant of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is autoimmune thyroid disease and the most prevalent cause of hypo in the developed world.
PPT is usually a temporary condition characterized by an initial hyper phase, a brief return to normal and then a hypo phase. Hashi's, except in its very early stages, usually causes hypothyroidism.
Bare with me on my novel..
Shortly after the birth of my fourth child ( August 2009 ) I began having frightening symptoms. I would feel very hot,shaky and had terrible anxiety, I really thought I was dieing. Serious!!. I also suffered terrible dizzy spells, confusion and a real lack of concentration. I actually forgot about cookies baking in the oven one day! This was really only a few of my worst symptoms.
ve had Postpartum Anxiety and I think she wanted me to take Tapazole to minimize the anxiety and other symptoms. The PPT the first time converted into Hypo treated with levothyroxine and regulated itself after one year. Does that makes sense then to still be on Tapazole?
Thank you for taking the time to email me regarding this issue.
My 33 year old daughter had a stroke 3 years ago and since then has had 3 DVTs, and 2 mini strokes. 8 weeks ago she had blood work done and we found out that she has a clotting disorder which has yet to be identified to us. Her hematologist said the blood work can take several weeks before we get a diagnosis. She has gone to the Coumadin clinic once a week for the last 8 weeks and her INR levels have been in the 2 range. 3 days ago she woke up in severe pain.
You may have postpartum thyroiditis (PPT). PPT is considered a "temporary"/self-resolving thyroiditis. It usually starts with a hyper phase, followed by a return to normal and then a hypo phase. However, many women only experience the hypo or the hyper, not both.
TSI (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin) is the antibody marker for Graves'. If you have that tested, and it's elevated, you'll know you have Graves'.
Could any one help me to know what is my results means specially 2 things in my ppt:
(Pre). (Best)
Tlc 7.86. 8.90
Rv. 1.92. .90
Rv/tlc 26.44. 10.
ve been on synthyroid for 7 weeks with crazy symptoms with doctors changing the doses 3 times. I started on 100, then dropped to 50 after having crazy heart palpitations and anxiety attacks. Now on 75 and my tsh is at 14. I begged my doctor to do different tests to help get more understanding of what is happening to me. Here are the results: tsh: 14.18(h) free t4:19 free t3: 4.1 thyroglobulin antibodies: 619 (h) thyroglobulin 4.
Your doctor should be testing FREE T3 and FREE T4, the actual thyroid hormones, as well as TSH (which is a pituitary hormone). TSH is totally inadequate for managing meds for thyroid disease.
That being said, a TSH of 27 is high, but just to give you some perspective, mine was 60-something on diagnosis, and we sometimes see members reporting TSH up into the hundreds. As I said, your doctor should also be testing FT3 and FT4 every time blood is drawn.
I am not trying to scare you but a stroke is rather serious. Do some research and if you think the symptoms match up force her to see a doctor. whether she believes in them or not this could save her from having a more serious stroke, which could do anything from paralyzing one side of the body or even death. I'm sorry to scare or worry. As I said, I may be wrong, this is only a best guess from a college student, who works with children and took a first aid and cpr course.
