Do you have Hashimotos and tachycardia (fast heart rate)
Hi I posted previously but was told maybe this might work to get a better answer....
I am 26 I had a baby in NOV 06' ever since I have not felt right I started getting palapitations and had an episode of SVT went to the er my tyroid test showed 6.2 which showed HYPO, I dont know the name of all the tests I think that test was a tsh I think thats right but agian not sure...so went back to my regular doc and she rechecked my thyroid free t3 and t4 which the one for HYPO was .1 away from not being with in normal range and she said it was fine.....showing .1 away from having HYPO and then showing HYPO in the ER would indicate to me further testing would need to be done....THEN I started with a high heart rate 24 hours a day not episodes but when sitting it is around 100+ and then when my feet hit the floor can go as high as 180 depending on what im doing, I mean dishes bathing kids etc...NOT NORMAL I am exhausted by the end of the day. I have had my heart cleared at clevland heart clinic I had mild regurgitation in my tricuspid and pulmonary valves which they said was not causing the high heart rate needed to look into thryroid and IST and POTS for a diagnosis. And now I am having trouble swallowing and some pain in the right side of my neck....anyway the heart rate is effecting my quality of life and I have a docs apt but they would not get me in until middle of september so I must wait. My question is can hosimotos cause high heart rate I was told yes and then I was told NO.....or sometimes you can have hosimotoxocious I probably spelled that wrong....where you can have symptoms of HYPER but have hosimotos which causes HYPO.....any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

does this every get better? i just went on meds for a slight case of hypothyroidism in June. At the beginning of August my heart began to pound. Resting heart rate is about 100, walking 20 ft thru my apartment it raises to 130 and just one flight of stairs shoots it up to 160. In the last 2 weeks my doc has had me try 3 different pharmaceutical grade supplements/natural meds and I am no different...I am beginning to not trust him. Can anyone tell me if there's a light at the end of the tunnel!?!?!
There is light at the end of the tunnel. The question is, how long is the tunnel and how many 90 degree turns are in it.
If you really don't trust your doctor, try another one. It took me a few to find one I trust. If he doesn't know, he says so. Then he tries to find out. There is some comfort in his being so honest.
He's also very good at guessing. ;>)
Have you had your adrenal glands checked out? Your GP can run tests to determine if your adrenal glands are healthy or acting up. That would save a little time when you go to see a specialist.
Good luck. Be patient, but at the same time, insist that tests be run till something shows up.
I understand how you feel. Everyone posting here does. Treatment takes forever. Tests never end. Appointments are always three months out. Waiting seems like a way of life. In the meantime we feel like **** and the doctors say that will change in a year or so.
It will get better. You may have to politely kick a butt or two, but it will get better.

rainatl, didn't even notice you were not the person starting this thread.
When was the last time your doctor checked your TSH, T3, and T4? Is it possible you have become hyperthyroid because of your med dosage? If the doctor hasn't checked those recently, that should be done.
Your rapid heart rate is alarming and annoying, but the doctor can't treat it without knowing what is causing it. What tests has he/she run to pinpoint a cause?

thanks everyone for your comments. well, after talking to my sister and a nurse friend, i decided to go to the ER. I felt like i was stabbing in the dark--at least by going to the ER they can run a lot of tests instantly. They gave my heart a clean bill of health, thankfully, but noticed some of my levels (maybe T3 and T4?) were up on my thyroid and that it was also inflammed. They think that either that doctor i was seeing did me wrong (argh) or that I have grave's. I have an appt. with a different endocronolgists in 2 weeks--the hospital wanted me to wait a little while, until the other doc's meds get out of my system. in the mean time, they put me on a beta blocker to bring my heart rate down. it is down, but still not normal. certainly better than before. i would hate to have to wait a year though for it to get better!!!
I'm hypo (w/ hashi) and have had heart palps and racing pulse since just before my dx, especially when I lie down for a long peroid of time and then start to move, the movement cause a heart palps. My primary care MD and endo both said hypo can cause heart palps and wanted me to waiting until tsh dropped before I see a cardiologist (probably the only specialist I haven't seen since hypo dx). I'm very curious about the side effects of Beta Blockers?!!! Do have any?????? I've read beta blockers can cause fatigue, light headness or dizziness, don't know if those are common side effects. Are you experiencing any? thanks.
