the doc told me that my thyroid hormone is a little higher than norm. free T3 was 3.83Pg/dl which is about 0.3 above the higher end of the norm. free T4 was 1.62 which is just 0.02 above the higher end of the norm. my TSH level was normal and it was 2.75UIU/ml. I am wondering what could cause slightly higher free T3 level and TSH still staying in the normal range. I have symptoms that could be associated with high thyroid hormone. My heart beat feel so fast after a little excersise and shortness of breath appear at the same time with fast heart beat. its hard to sleep sometimes when the symptom appears. This is very bothering me and I wonder if anyone have some idea what should i do to cure these and what could be the cause. Because my heart beat sometimes is very uncomfortable and it makes me anxicious. I really would like to be fine like before.

There looks a connection between thyroid ailment and insulin resistance. Get a fasting insulin finished too. A glucose of one hundred is a demonstration of insulin resistance. If the insulin is extreme in determination or over determination, then you definately have insulin resistance. i'm hypothyroid and also insulin resistant. i believe the burden I received even as hypo led to the insulin resistance. Insulin resistance makes it puzzling to shed pounds and left untreated can change into diabetes. i began on Metformin ER and became waiting to lose about 20 pounds with eating regimen & workout, the position eating regimen and workout did no longer some thing before. also to ensure in case you quite are hyper retest the TSH contained in the morning only and also have a free t4 and free t3. My TSH is continually contained in the hyper determination (i'm on Armour thyroid) yet my free t4 and free t3 are in determination.

You probably need medication to control your hyperthyroidism. I'm not sure if that can cause the fast heart rate or not. Sometimes I can slow my heart beat by bearing down like when your having a bowel movement. Don't let it make you panic or it will just get worse. I would ask your doctor to check you heart and make sure nothing is wrong. If it's fine then you may need an anti-anxiety drug or something to calm you down. If you have high blood pressure you may need a beta-blocker to control blood pressure and heart rate.
