New to thyroid issues!

[Misty2015]

I have just had an ultrasound of my thyroid, they say it is autoimmune thyroiditis. I have not been started on anything. I have a TSH of 7.17. I noticed today I am having a little chest pain and some heart papitations. My heart rate at rest is 86 and 110 on walking and working. I don't have an appointment with an endocrinologist until June 3rd. Is the new symptoms something I should be concerned about and call for maybe a soon appointment? I can also notify my PCP and they might be able to do something until my appointment. Any advice will help. Thank you!

Is TSH the only blood test they did?  They should also have done Free T3 and Free T4, which are the actual thyroid hormones.  If you have those results, please post them, along with reference ranges.

I had shortness of breath, rapid heart rate and palpitations when I was very hypo.

Are you on any medicine?
The heart palpitations are usually sign of hyper not hypo thyroid function.
If you are taking no medicine, I have a wild guess that pressure to the thyroid during the ultrasound damaged some inflamed follicles and caused hormonal leak into the blood stream.
