I recently underwent a total thyroidectomy (which I now regret, but that's a whole nother topic). I've taken several thyroid replacements meds over the past twenty-five years.........synthroid, levothroid and currently have been on levoxyl for over five years. Now that my thyroid is gone is there a preferred thyroid replacement that is best? My surgeon was going to switch me off of levoxyl after surgery, but I resisted and wanted to stay on the levoxyl. I figured my body would be going through enough changes and shock already. I'm experiencing almost steady heart palpitations and heart pounding, since surgery two weeks ago. Could this be related to thyroid med?
Thanking you in advance for any advice. I wish I had found this website BEFORE I elected to have surgery.
