Over active thyroid

[Memoo]

Hi ladies, I've just been diagnosed with an over active thyroid. I'm on anti-thyroid drugs now ans beta blockers but my heart is still racing at times. Sometimes my resting pulse is 110 and my chest gets really sore.

I just wondered if anyone could give me any advice, has anyone else experienced this and if so how long did it take for drugs to start working?

I have the opposite, so can't be much help except to say it takes about 10 - 14 days to notice a difference with the medication. Also if you're newly diagnosed it can take a few months to get the dosage correct, but you should start to fell better.

Hi, drugs worked really quickly for me (Carbimazole)

Suffered for a year before going to the docs, thought it was just how you felt after having a baby
I've been taking meds for nearly a year and am due to come off them in Aug, things may flare up again but apparently it will be easy to get back under control.

Be warned I put weight on again pretty quickly too! But no more than my pre-baby weight.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, my dose was reduced pretty quickly, they were adjusted following each blood test which I had every 8 weeks ish.

I'm on Carbimazole too, I've been taking it for 2 weeks now, i'm also taking propranol (betablockers) do feel a little better but still far from 100%. have to have bloods done again 1n 4 weeks to check levels, did you feeli dizzy on the pills? like you've stood up too quick

No not dizzy, have you had your eyes checked? I have problems with my eyes due to the thyroid which can make me feel a little heady and give me double vision.
