Am on thyroxine for many years was keeping low tsh generally below .5 and was feeling great till i got into lots of skipped beats. have now beem advisd to keep tsh above 1.5 feel bloated. but is it?

Is it what? : Not sure what your question is but while too much thyroid can cause a fast heart rate it doesn't tend to cause skipped beats. I don't believe in keeping TSH above 1.5. The best dose is the one that helps you feel best as long as T3 (liothyronine) & T4 aren't too high. Skipped beats may be from low magnesium. Hawthore & taurine may help too.

Too much thyroxine: Sounds like you have been taking slightly too much thyroxine for years. This can lead to bone loss and irregular heart rhythms. Your doctor is doing the right thing. You body has become used to the high dose, and you will feel sluggish until your body gets used to a normal thyroid level.
