tachycardia and thyroid removal
by wallaby, May 05, 2008 08:49PM
I had my thyroid removed two months ago due to a multinodular goiter. There was a Millimeter of papillary cancer found. I am now through the radio active iodine treatment. But ever since it was administered I have experienced heart palpitations. At first I noticed them when I went for a 30 minute walk and walked up inclines. Now I am noticing them at odd times...especially when I am tired. What might this mean? What should I do?

Your hormones are still getting settled, and you were either hyper or hypo or both after surgery and RAI. Your body is going to need time to heal.
You are still in the "get used to a dose of replacement hormone" stage, and it may take a while to find the right dose of the correct med to get you feeling well.
You should be getting tested often. Every 4-6 weeks for several months. A TSH, a Free T4. Untill your level is where you and the doctor wants it and it stays there.
