thyroid overdose

lindy4365

I have been taking Levothyroxine about 8 years. Two years ago a nurse practioner increased my dosage from 50mg. to 150 mg. This caused my heart to start pounding day and night and espically at nught. It has been a little over two years and I still have problems romthis. How long will this last and will it ever completely clear up?
