My Dr. just gave me a prescription for Synthroid for hypothyroidism. My TSH was at 3.502 and at 2.921 a few days later. I have several hyperthyroid symtoms, including heart palpitations, hair loss, anxiety, accelerated heart rate, infrequent periods, tremors, fatigue, sleeplesness, and muscle weakness. I think the only symptom I am lacking is weight loss. I am actually gaining weight. Does this diagnosis sound right? I am not sure what kind of testing I should request to make sure the treatment is appropriate for the symptoms, and several of the listed side effects for Synthroid are symtoms that I am already experiencing. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
