One major sign of thyroid storm that differentiates it from plain hyperthyroidism is a marked elevation of body temperature, which may be as high as 105-106 ºF. Thyroid storm is unusual, but when it occurs, it is a life-threatening emergency.
Hi,
bumping this thread up in case anybody can help blsdnsvd.
I can imagine it would be difficult (having had panic attacks many many years ago), but I guess a thyroid storm attack wouldn't bring relief in a given time-period, whereas a panic attack would. Perhaps your doctor can prescribe something to take the edge off a panic attack -- whereas, a true thyroid storm wouldn't respond to it. Just a thought.

What were the symptoms???
