A member asked:
My doctor put me on 75mcg of levothyroxine 4 days ago for hypothyroidism. is occasional heart flutters normal? should i worry?

Start low: You should go back to ur doc and get an ekg done. Also ur dose may be too high to start with. Maybe ur doc could cut back the dose and move up in dose by 12.5 mg gradually every few months and regularly checking ur tsh. Titrating is a slow process.
