I am Vivek, 32 male from India. last year April I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism with levels as follows:
April 2010---
Free T3: 1.30 pg/mL
Free T4: 0.23 mg/dL
TSH (Ultrasensitive):326.548 uIU/dl
Glucose, Fasting: 97 mg/dL
I started with Thyrox 50 gradually making it to 150 in a month. My levels
July 2010---
Free T3: 2.96 pg/mL
Free T4: 1.30 mg/dL
TSH (Ultrasensitive):0.6798 uIU/dl
Glucose, Fasting: 98 mg/dL
I continued with Thyrox 150
My levels in April 2011
April 2011---
Free T3: 2.460 pg/mL
Free T4: 1.22 mg/dL
TSH (Ultrasensitive):0.044 uIU/dl
Glucose, Fasting: 99 mg/dL
Just before (15 days or so) this test I have started having problems like: palpitations, constant pain in back of the neck, cramps in stomach, elevated Heart rate. I contacted the doctor, he asked me to take propanalol 10 for a week and reduced the dosage to Thyrox 50.
I got the levels checked again
May 2011--
Free T3: 2.30 pg/mL
Free T4: 1.21 mg/dL
TSH (Ultrasensitive):4.759 uIU/dl
I increased the dose to Thyrox 75.
However, my neck pain has not gone at all, rather its getting more severe. I am having pain in left shoulder blade, chest -mild but constant (particularly in left part), pain in legs and hands. There is very slight swelling on left side of my neck-front and slight pain in between right ear and salivary glands. I am confused what is it and why my problems are not going away. I have given my blood sample for fresh levels and also for Anti TPO and Tg levels. Results will be available tommorrow. My cholestrol level during 2010-11 varied between 273 - 222. (normal 200)
Please suggest me what could be the cause of the problem? Shall I go for imaging or ultrasound of my thyroid glands? I am having mixed symptoms of hypo and hyper, why?
Thank you in advance.
