Hi i,ve been diagnosed with hashimoto May 2006 my endo wanted to put me on syntroid but i refused because I have all the hyper symptoms. Rapide heart rate, chest pain, tingling in the fingers, palpitations, insomnia, anxiety & i go from constipation to diarrhea.I ended up in the emergence room one night with a heart beat of 130 & i was put on 25mg of athenlol & later reduced to half beause my pressure was to low.My symptoms are little better.By going on syntroid will my symptoms improve or will it give me more hyper symptoms.

you have hashimoto's -- treatment is not necessary with the current TSH levels -- in some cases there are paradoxical 'hyper" symptoms which actually get better with low dose levothyroxine, but with the current TSH, would not be compelled to treat -- it would be trial/error and would lean towards even 1/2 of a 25mcg dose if you do start meds.
Jennifer
are you on any kind of medication and if yes what?
Hi Hypogirl80
My Doctor said I have Hashimoto and I tested positive for the antibodies for hashimoto.
Thank you
