I have been in a horrible work environment for the last 9 months. Prior to this my last TSH level was 1.7 (done right before I moved to this department). As my work situation has worsened, so have my levels evidently. I am experiencing tremors, migraines, shaky voice, serious anxiety (jumpy, weird paranoia-like thoughts) and if I am not anxious - I am bed-ridden with what feels like depression. I have gone from 140 pounds to 121 as well.Total personality change.
I have a full thyroid blood work scheduled for next week. I am a 48 year female with no prior issues like this.
Update - results from follow-up blood work. Doctor indicates normal. In addition, I have been taking half of a 5mg valium everynight and do not have the HORRIBLE morning panic attacks and tremors. Any suggestions? endocrinologist ?
