Question 1

i have thyroid and just started my medication. my heart beats very fast soon after that i have to lie down. this helps but i am so afraid.

Accepted Answer

Speak to your MD: Speak to your MD. You may need to have your dose lowered, as increased heart beat can be a symptom of HYPERthyroidism.  Try to reach him as soon as possible.

Question 2

why does an over active thyroid cause your heart to beat fast

Accepted Answer

Sympathetic nerves: Thyroid hormone stimulates the sympathetic nervous system.  Increased sympathetic nervous system activity increases the heart rate.  There is also evidence that thyroid hormone acts on the heart muscle directly to increase the strength of contraction and the rate of contraction (makes it beat harder and faster).

Question 3

congestive heart failure from thyorid disease? how can your thyroid affect your heart?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid and CHF: The thyroid regulates the metabolism
increasing the heart rate over the course of the time - like whipping a horse - can produce heart issues as the heart is in overdrive with a high thyroid hormone level.

Question 4

was told have overactive thyroid is it possible this has been a long term condition which has shown as a heart attack in 2011?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Yes - This could be a long-term condition that you've been living with.  No - I don't see how this could be misinterpreted as a heart attack.  The lab results and EKG tracings are very different.  I hope this helps!

Question 5

diagnosed with thyroid disease. heart symptoms of preassure in chest. did the thyroid disease cause damage to heart or is it just symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid disease: What was your diagnosis? What treatment was prescribed? what did your doctor say when you told him or her about your "heart pressure"? You also mention "brain lesion" under your conditions. What are you referring to? Hyperthyroidism may cause hypermetabolic state and cause tachycardia or palpitation but not pressure. Have you been diagnosed with anxiety disorder? Not enough info for relevant reply

Question 6

3yr ago dr said u hv a thyroid, now days heart rate fast when another dr check he said u hv only nervous system weakness not thyroid..is it ?

Accepted Answer

Heart rate: No way to know what if anything is wrong with virtually no information. Perhaps you should find another dr. And get another first hand opinion.

Question 7

body temp ranging from 96.5 -97.9. pulse 50-60. no major heart issues. no high bp. no thyroid disease or diabetes. what's happening?

Accepted Answer

Body temp: First off these body temp readings may be normal for you. However I'd make sure you had a complete panel of thyroid tests to make sure you don't have hypothyroidism.

Question 8

what are my options for treatment of continual bleeding from endometriosis, ive already had 3 d&cs , and 3depo shots, and an ablation all within 2 1/2yrs i dont want a hystorectomy i have thyroid disorder and heart murmur?

Accepted Answer

: Are you sure you have had bleeding from endometriosis or endometrial hyperplasia? Intractable pain is the most common and bothersome symptom of endometriosis, not recurrent bleeding at your age.

Question 9

does under active thyroid causes fast heart beats as well as feeling tired, there are many nodules on my thyroid and i take eurhyrox 100 that  became50?

Accepted Answer

Overreplaced: Sounds like you were taking too high of a dose causing fast heart rate and fatigue. That's why your doctor lowered the dose from 100 to 50. If this was the case, you should be feeling better shortly.

Question 10

my heart beats really fast while im standing or doing any slight movement. it usually goes from 60 bpm to 90 or 100 bpm. i also have a swollen thyroid. could these be connected or is my racing heartbeat a concern?

Accepted Answer

: A heart rate of 100 or less may be uncomfortable but is not usually dangerous.  Be sure to keep well hydrated and wait for the results of the thyroid tests.
