A member asked:

I have a higher t3 at 116, t4 is 0.8, tsh is 2.44. diagnosed with hashimotos. have very bad palpitations and high heart rate and anxiety when it's like this. is there anything i can do? is it the t3 causing these symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

While your T4 is low normal, your T3 and TSH are within normal range. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an auto immune disease which creates a deficiency in thyroid hormone production. "Palpitations, rapid heart rate " are generally associated with anxiety and stress, but not specifically with Hashimoto's. Your endocrinologist will be able to correct insufficiencies in thyroid activity.
