Hi,
From 15 years old I've diganosed with a slightly enlarged thyroid, I've was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis 2000, when I had very bad weeks with no sleep and hyper symptoms with a very high blood pressure at 200/165.
I did a scintigraphy and they told me that it should not take up anything, however the result was that it did take up some.....I was left with this diagnose anyway and betablocker . Was this the correct diagnose?.
I had TSH 0.01, T4 21, Tpo-AK 450 Tg-AK 447.
Over the years I developed hypo symptoms however I always been on betablocker since I still have rapid heart beats and high blood pressure, symptoms of hyper which comes and goes under stress otherwise hypo symptoms.
Now 2013 I noticed that I have more often hyper attacks and more severe symptoms, I went to Endo specialist and my tests were TSH 2.0, T4 12, my TPO antibodies has increased to 1500. No TRAK was taken in this test. My blood pressure despite eating betablocker 50 mg and sparkal 20 mg daily was 170/100, I haven't been sleeping now for 4 days, cramps in my legs, problems with breathing, my ears are ringing, my hands and feets are aching, and I can also feel some spasm around my eyes....Even with medication to calm me down I'm not able to sleep.
I read about Hashimoto Hashitoxicosis which is bang on my symptoms. Is it possible for me to kill my thyroid to eliminate the hyper symptoms and then threat the hypo?
