Hi
I am having some really horribe weird sensations which are mostly happening at night.
I have a feeling of pressure building up in my body and a sort of pulsating feeling.
Along with this my limbs start to feel weak and they feel as though they could go numb.

I did read a article on the internet which listed some symptoms that can occur if your dose is too high for your needs, and mine beared some likeness.
Just wondering has anybody ever had any side effects from their thyroxine dose becoming too much for them and causing side effects, maybe similar to what I am getting.
I am so confused by what is happening to me and would like to get to the bottom of it.
My tsh was 0.25 on the last check about 2 weeks ago but I am wondering if in the meantime my dose has become too much.

Hi, I have an overactive thyroid so the complete oposite but that feeling you describing, like your heart pulsating is just what i get, cause by too much thyroine in my body. So it does sound possible that the feeling you descibed is caused by too much tyroxine
