Hormones!!

Question for anyone who can help!!  I had switched my birth control pills due to never wanting to have sex and because I always felt grouchy.  I started new pills which gave me a yeast infection and made me feel very emotional at times.  Do a week and a half before finishing the pack I stopped them.  Right after stopping them I got a wheezing in my lungs.  I let it go for about 2 weeks before I went to the doc thinking it was just bronchitis.  The doc thought it was asthma and gave me stuff for it.  That night I had a racing heart that would not stop even hours after the albuterol should have wore off (120-160 beats a minute).  That next morning I went to the ER and they did blood work and it came back that my TSH was .22 and said I had hyperthyroid and gave me beta blockers for my heart.  I went to my regular doc and they had me do more test Free T3 and Free T4 which came back normal.  I have never had problems with asthma before in my life but have had issues with my heart racing.  I go see and endocrinologist the end of July.  Just wondering if anyone else thinks this is just a hormone clash that I got myself into!?!?

Have you been tested for Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid disease or Graves disease? These are both autoimmune thyroid disorders that you should be tested for. I would also like to say the normal ranges for free t4 and free t3 don't always mean "normal", Do you know what the exact numbers were so that you can post them for us to look at?
