Simptoms
I had RAI done two months ago, I already did some blood work a month after, and the doctor said that the hormones were going down , but i was still hyper. I will have my second appointment on the begining of april for the blood tests again. But the thing is, i am still having lots of anxiety, palpitation, and sometims inmsonia.So I called my endo and he said it has nothing to do with Thyroid.So I went to a cardiologist, and he did a Ekg, Ecogram and it did not show any problem with my hearth, he gave to me some betta blocker for the high blood pressure( another sinmptom I am having) and palpitation and a natural medicine for inmsonia and anxiety. So has anyone had anything like that after 2months of having RAI?
I agree with the two ladies above.
I have RAI more than three months ago and I still have heart palpitations. Just recently, I had outpatient surgery and my rate was between 105-110. The nurse asked if I was scared and I told her about being hyper and the RAI and she stated that was the reason for heart palps.
I go to my pcp just to get my heart rate checked and it still high. My allergist checks my heart rate before giving me the allergy shots.
Sometimes, I get anxiety and brain fog so bad that I have to leave work. A couple of weeks ago I left work two days in a row. I could not focus and I had anxiety.
My endo dr put me on atenolol to help with the heart palps.
Hang in there. I have learned more on this site than I have learned from any dr.

Welcome to the board .. I agree with Stella ... such a shame your Dr. didn't pass this info along to you rather than send you off to a Cardio but you had a good workup there, too which is good news with meds now.

Rose - it is common to have that anxiety - palps and insominia for years after RAI -
Not to scare you - but your doctor seems a bit insensitive. CAll they office Monday morning and asked if he/she can prescribe a low dose of Xanax. If they insominia is bad an Rx of Ambien may help you sleep too. Until you level out - these symptoms are completely normal and very common with hyper AND hypo patients.
Your physician should know that -
You should be drinking a ton of water since the RAI to flush your system - I hope he/she shared that with you too.
