I'm due to see an Endocrinologist on the NHS early next month. My last bloods

were drawn whilst I was in hospital recently with multiple pulmonary embolisms.

TSH was 0.05; T4 was 22.

As a result of these tests the endo came to see me on the cardiac ward and

strongly advised that I stop taking my medication which was 2 grains of Armour

daily. I don't have and never have had ANY hyper symptoms on Armour and have

used it for several years (bar one possibility which I'll explain) and infact

still feel quite hypo, i.e. fatigue, cold all the time, continuing weight gain.

What took me into hospital was severe tachycardia (at 180bpm) and then the

embolisms diagnosed via a lung scan.

Since being out of hospital 2 weeks ago I'm now on just 100mcg daily of

Levothyroxine. My dilemma (and obvious worry) is that whever I take it my

resting heart rate increases to close to 100bpm. Fokr the moment, I've stopped

taking Levo until I see my endocrinologist shortly.

I don't know what the heck he's going to suggest. I'm terrified of being off

thyroid meds (or having my dosage cut right down) as KNOW I'll feel awful.

My last test were a week ago - bearing in mind I'd been off Armour by then for

14 days my tsh is still 0.05 and T4 is at 20. What the heck is going on? Can

anyone please help?
