Re: anyone with hypO successfully treated tachycardia?

[Guest guest]

Hi Susie, I`m not as experienced as other members here and probably not much

help but have you been tested for TPO anti-bodies. Just thought that all your

probs could be a bit `Hashi`, especially when you said you were quite reactive.

I immediately think TPOabs with a TH2 dominance.

Just a thought, but hopefully an experienced member can help you.

Hi Jane

Thanks very much for your response. I do have hashis and have both types of

antibodies, but I'm afraid I don't have a clue what you're talking about lol!

What is TH2 dominance please?

Many thanks

Susie

Hi Susie,

The immune system is complicated but I do know that there are many types of

anti-bodies and TH1 and TH2 are T Helper cells and they need to be kept in

balance. I wouldn`t know if you are actually TH1 or TH2 dominant, but you can

work it out by trial and error in how you react to certain foods. I think

generally Hashimotos tend to be TH1 dominant (which I think I am) but some can

be TH2 dominant. You can do a test but in the UK it costs about £300.

Good video is http://thyroidbook.com/ - the second video down the page talks

about getting the TH1 and TH2 in balance with Hashimotos.

Also -

roidism

talks about the TH1/TH2 balance

There are also some more links I gave to Nuala on this forum, see Message No.

91314. I found all of Dr. Beckingham`s videos very instructive (and he makes me

giggle).

Love, Jane

you could always try natural desiccated thyroid instead of levo, lots of people

find it a lot better. Have you tried magnesium for the heart, lots of people

are deficient in mangnesium and it is easy to supplement with a spray or a

capsule. I used to have a problem with arrhythmia and have managed to get rid of

it by using supplements, but it took a couple of years to gradually reach this

point as it takes a long while to deal with deficiencies. I read on someone's

blog that low ferritin can cause palpitations, have you tested for this and got

it to a good level? I take nutri adrenals, co-enzyme Q 10, vitamin C, a multi

vit and mineral, omega 3, magnesium malate, vit d3, and short courses of all

kinds of potions and powders that strike my fancy on top of these basics. I

also am on the paleo diet.

did you know that beta blockers have palpitations as a side effect, I wonder

about your new prescription, have you looked up the side effects?
