RE: Re: Hashi's and Iodine

[Guest guest]

What are some of the syptoms of tachycardia caused by hypothyroidism? I have not been able to figure out why I cannot go up in alltitude and function, or work out for any length of time. It seems that whenever I stress my body(doing anything out of the daily norm). I get symptoms that can take months to recover from. The last time I went to Colorado, I was having symptoms when I came back to sea level, for months.Went to the rheumatologist and he sent me to pulmonologist, pulmonologist ran some very expensive tests and wanted me to see a cardiologist. The cardiologist ran some tests (all got normal results) and told me I could also run another test to check to see if I have a heart arhythmia. Or I could do a ct scan of my heart(he did not reccommend since I am

allerigic to iondine based dye). I have been taking Armour and really need to find a endocrinologist that will listen to my symptoms instead of checking my female hormones, which I have been told more than once, are fine.Any suggestions?Thank you.

Re: Hashi's and Iodine

It may be worth taking some iodine for its non-thyroid uses. It is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic. With more and more bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics, it may be a good idea to keep our iodine levels as high as we can tolerate.

It aids in wound healing and may inhibit the growth of cancerous cells.

I can't tolerate much of it myself, as it activates the little piece of thyroid gland that I have left and gives me tachycardia.

You may wish to read "Iodine" by Dr. Brownstein, also "Iodine and Breast Cancer" by Dr. Derry (The first Thyroid Martyr).

May I ask what are the heart rates you consider tachycardia?I am just curious, cause a pulse over 80 on myself makes me feel strange… From: Texas_Thyroid_Groups [mailto:Texas_Thyroid_Groups ] On Behalf Of Corinne GreeneSent: Monday, May 14, 2012 11:30 AMTo: Texas_Thyroid_Groups Subject: Re: Re: Hashi's and Iodine What are some of the syptoms of tachycardia caused by hypothyroidism?
