Thyroid Storm

Not sure if I've posted in the right place but just wondering if anyone has experienced this before, and how it felt?

Pretty sure my thyroid has gone out of whack (again) following an mc in April, but I'm not sure which way.

Had bloods today but obv have to wait for results. But my joints are aching so much I'm just about able to shuffle along. I can just about lift a dinner plate and I keep going hot and cold.

Just wondering whether a call to 111 or a trip to A&E is warranted.

With thyroid storm or just severe hyperthyroidism you would have palpitations, cold sweats, and may feel you are unable to sit still.
Real thyroid storm is quite rare and life threatening. Hyperthyroidism is more likely.
Luckily it doesn’t sound like you have either.
