recent diagnosis of hyperthyroidism

I have recently been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and went to a doctor due to a high heart rate during excercise.  I cant get in to see an endo. for several weeks and was wondering what the implications were of my lab results and what will likely be the required treatment.  They only gave me 2 #'s... T4 of 1.3 and TSH of 0.  What does this mean for me?  Will I be on some sort of meds like Synthroid for the rest of my life?  In addition I am an avid cyclist and would like to continue to ride.  I have been given a beta blocker until I can get in to see the endo but do I need to hold off on cycling until the cause has been determined?  Or am I ok to continue cycling since the beta blocker will regulate my heart rate and not allow the 205 spikes I have been getting.  Keep in mind when I say cycling I am referring to race type paces and not any casual rides.  Normal rides for me withOUT beta blocker assistance has my heart rate between 170-200. I havent ridden since I have been diagnosed 3 days ago. Thanks for your help.

Ask your doc about exercise -- usually best to hold off until the thyroid normalizes -- the endocrinologist will tell you why it's hyper-- ie: Graves vs overactive nodule(s) vs transient inflammation (thyroiditis).  In the meantime, use the betablockers and tell your doc if symptoms worsen.
