So as some of you may know I am hyothyroid, I have been getting the issue solved slowly. But recently I have had some weird heart palpatations and flutters more often and it kinda wierds me out, not so sure of what it is. Should I go get another blood draw? or should I just stick it out?

Ha ask me right Laura! I have anxiety everyday. Cause I guess IM not used to being normal. I am not down were I should but anxiety is normal.

Anxiety is a symptom of hypo believe it or not! You didnt have a free t4 and free t3 done? A TSH alone doesn't give the whole picture. Do you have hashimotos? Have you been tested for the autoimmune thyroid disorders? For someone with hashi's a  optimum level is .50-1.0 for tsh in order to start feeling good. Even if you don't have hashi's, you still have room for improvement IF your other #'s are in line. AT a 2.9 I still get hypo palps.

well I just got my labs done today actually and my tsh is 2.9 so its in the normal range... I was just wondering maybe its anxiety now that I think about it.... And how normal is it for someone to develop anxiety after diagnosis of a thyroid disorder.?

When was your last set of labs done? What were the results with ranges? What med are you on?  LOL  And  you thought you were asking the questions...lol
I get a few palps here and there...usually when i am hypo.
Palps can also happen with hyper as well, if you are over medicated.
