I had a resting HR all my adult life of 72B/m. Absolultly no heart abnormalities.
In 2009 I had a T.T. for sub clin hyper(nodules). 7 mo. later tachycardia constant for 3.5d.
L-T4 stopped and reduced to .50mcg. Hypothyroid now. TSH raised to 5.96 Developed heart palp, irregular, hard. Sent to cardiologist" because this is not thyriod related" Echo,ECG =PVC, PAC,IRBBB, sl. calcifications mitral v.normal findings,don't have to call unless I pass out then go to the ER.
1 yr later HR dropped to 49-55B/M. PC MD event recorer bigeminy, trigeminy, couplets, triplets,1st dgree AV block.Nothing to treat. I raised my L-T4 by .44mcg. HR in the 60's now. Less frequent hard palps, but when I read at night I listen. They are still there. What should I do? Another thing I have lost alot of hair rt temple, may be growing back, not sure. 1.)Should I call the cardiologist? I don't like to bother people, 2.)should I just monitor.
3.) I am afraid
Since the raised L-T4 great labs 02-07-2013 TSH=1.16 T4=1.16 ( total .mcg week 6.60mcg).Female,53,138lbs. very active physically.
