Hyperparathyroidism can certainly cause a problem with the electrical system of the heart, it can also raise the blood pressure. I had both of those problems, not so much PVCs but ventricular tachycardia instead which can be life threatening. My BP was always normal or low and then jumped into high BPs. I had 2 parathyroid tumors removed and I am back to where I was before. Most doctors don't understand the relationships between, parathyroid hormones, calcium and Vit D so it can be very difficult to diagnose.
Just want to say thank you for the info I have been having PVCS even after a Ablation five years ago
Sorry the chat is over; but, there were some questions on angina, PVC's, etc. that were answered on the thyroid forum. Some basic and some very interesting questions with a lot of answers. The questions that did not get answered will be on the expert forum. Stop by the thyroid forum and have a peek. ;~)
Very interesting...have you heard of any connection to Parathyroid disease?
I had surgery in Nov to have one parathyroid removed and a nodule on my thyroid. They took half the thyroid also. During the surgery I had a heart attack. I had an angiogram in Dec that was normal..no blockage. Now I have severe PVC's and will be having an EP study Feb 9th.
I read somewhere that there was a connection between Parathyroid and heart issues, but now I can't find it. I have asked my Endrocrinologist, surgeon, cardiologist and EP Dr and they don't think there is a connection. Any info would be helpful.
Great post!!! My story is so similar. Post thyroid lobectomy, heart palps, tachycardia, and then finally diagnosed with PSVT. All while Drs told me my thyroid levels were normal, needed no thyroid meds.
After two years of suffering I finally get low dose of thyroid meds to suppress nodules in remaining lobe. Drs. are adament that there is no connection between the heart problem and the thyroid issues.
Funny, NEVER had any health issue before thyroid surgery....
Anyone else??? Would love to hear from others just to confirm " I am NOT crazy".
Great post. I hope you join us for the live chat with Dr. Lupo.
