Does exercise aggravate anyone's Hashimoto's

[tangerinelz3]

Diagnosed Hashimoto's about 3 months ago. First hyper, last test showed hypo. Have had all kinds of issues with panic anxiety and palpitations. Had a stress test that came out all normal, everything good. I just started the Couch to 5k program this week. Does anyone else notice a worsening of any symptoms with a beginning of aerobic exercise? Just curious. I'm noticing faster heartrate when I'm not doing anything. Also wearing an event monitor and it goes off everytime I jog.

In the beginning of Hashi some swing between hypo and hyper, eventually going into a declining  hypo state - which is what Hashimoto is (hypO).

Peolpe can get heart palps and high BP from Hypo also - their heart is working to hard to keep up. This is what I get when meds are to low. When hypo I really cant exercise safely - heart races and body hurts for days after. Up my thyroid med and its a lot better. Bottom of the T4 range is the same as hypo for me - some doctors refuse to beleive this.

I have hashimoto's, but swung into a hyperthyroid state followed by hypo.  I now am off medication.  I started exercising right before I went hyper.  I'm not sure it triggered it or it is coincidence.  Now though, like you, I can barely do anything without my heart racing.  I can do minor activity (such as running up the steps.. sad but true).  I guess at the beginning of hashi's it is common to fluctuate back and forth between hyper and hypo until the thyroid dies enough to become completely hypo.  I had a horrible year of it doing that, and now it has settled down to where I don't have the extreme panic and anxiety.  I also have less palps, and very few episodes of heart racing.  I don't think I could run a race yet, but maybe I'll get there.  I feel your pain though =(.  I always thought maybe the exercise made me healthier and triggered my thyroid to work more, which made me hyper.  I don't know though.  I know once you get medication optimal and your thyroid steadies itself, you will feel much better.  Good LUck.
