Do panic attacks come with hypo?
Well a few weeks ago i went to the ER because i was having what i thought was a heart attack.Heart beating fast,dizzy,hard to breath and felt like i was in a unreal place.They checked my heart and said it was fine but my thyroid was 6.92 and they said i could have hypo.I was very sick for about a week.I felt better the next week and now scene yesterday im feeling weird again...light headed,not being able to concerted much,feeling like im going crazy.I have to go back to the Dr in a few days to get my thyroid rechecked but im worried.They told me could me panic attacks or maybe my tyroid.My sex drive has went completely down for the past few weeks.Im 25 female.i need some advice.
They only tested my TSH levels and not My FT3 AND FT4.I will not see her until 1 month and when i asked her about the T3 AND T4 she said we will check all that when you come back in a month.So really my levels could be more high then what its showing now because i only got my TSH reading??I was confused because of how bad im feeling and people are telling me that i should not feel that bad when my levels arent that high..but i feel so awful..so withdrawn from everything just weird.Plus panic attacks with it.Im sorry if it sounds like im asking stupid questions im just new to this and worried.My wbc was a little high as well is this normal?The dr didnt say to much about it.Would it be wise to take the meds she gave me even if my thyroid may not be that bad?
TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by many variables, including the time ofd day when blood is drawn. Medical people cling to the belief that TSH is a diagnostic, by which a patient can be diagnosed and medicated and that it is adequate to determine a patient's thyroid state. Studies have shown this to be incorrect. TSH does not correlate very well at all with hypo symptoms.
The reason I mentioned the importance of testing for FT3 and FT4 is that, along with symptoms, those are much more important indicators of your thyroid status. You need to get those tested and adjusted as necessary to relieve symptoms. As I mentioned, frequently this requires that FT3 be adjusted into the upper part of its range and FT4 adjusted to at least midpoint of its range. Trying to use TSH to medicate a thyroid patient is like trying to drive a car with a blindfold on and only changing directions when you run into something.

Okay i was just talking with a nurse from my local Er and she told me i SHOULD NOT be feeling this sick when my levels are just mildly up...6.92.Is this true?Now im wondering if i shouldn't be this sick.Anyone have not so high hypo or hyper and got really sick?
Or maybe my levels have gotten higher?Idk im confused.

Does anyone know if your Wbc was a little high on you found out you had hypo or hyper?Im a little concerned about that as well.Mine was 11.5
With me, it was a very very slow process. It was probably a few weeks or months before I stopped noticing the shakiness and my heart racing all the time - the dizzy spells and fatigue took a lot longer to go away. Honestly it's hard to remember because I was 11 years old. I just know I went to the doctor every 2 months and they would gradually increase my dose. My problem was that they stopped increasing it once my TSH was inside their supposed range, even though I was still having symptoms. I am now on a higher dose and feel much better. It WILL get better, but it will take time. Just take the meds every day, and get them to test you for the Hashi's antibodies, your FT3, and FT4 next time you go.
YES!!I went to the Er twice because of how bad i was feeling and they said panic attacks,vertigo or hypo.I was so upset because they didnt even seem concerned but i was very very sick.Im still feeling pretty bad but im hoping this pills well work after a while.Plus LOTS of people told me that me having HYPO that i shouldnt be having panic attacks that it just with HYPER.So that got me very confused.I talked with my dr and she told me that not everyone has the same symptoms as everyone else.I just wished she would have retested me but she didnt.Plus i was a little worried about my WBC that was a little high as well 11.5 but she didnt say much about that.
