Very worried as ive been diagnosed with an overactive thyroid. My thyroid has been u der and made stable with thyroxine but it's now overactive and the dose of thyroxine was changed and it's still overactive so they have changed it again and in 6 weeks I will have another blood test to see what's what. I. So worried as this can lead to heart failure. I am having palpitations and lkst weight and have fatigue. Ive never been so worried I can't eat or sleep due to the worry.

Do breathing exercises every day - very efficient at calming your system down.

Your heart won’t be in trouble, promise. Thyroid palpitations are harmless. The doc can give you beta blockers if they’re too uncomfortable. They too are harmless, very safe and useful drugs.

Bear in mind that this awful anxiety is temporary with a physical cause that will be fixed shortly. Repeat that to yourself when you do the breathing. The breathing acts physically to calm you.

You're wrong and you havent addressed the point herr. My reason.\n For making, this thread is to say that I don't need a home help. Despite what the housing manager thinks this has not been addressed in this thread and I feel I've wasted my time posting. Something where the main emphasis was the home help suggestion which I do not need. I'm not that week. I am a week. I can't do things, but I'm not as bad as that.

With respect, you didn’t open the thread about a housing officer. You asked about hyperthyroidism and thyroxine.

I was going to suggest beta blockers too. I’ve had them before and they really help, and are often used for hyperthyroidism.

Interested in this thread?

People on a forum cant advise you about that as we don’t know your personal real world circumstances.
