Its seems at times that symtoms are in my mind. I take 10 mg Lipitor 1x, Synthroid 75 mc. 1x, Metoprolol 25 mg. 2x Xanax .25 1/2 2x if needed Aspirin 81mg 1x. long story i day while cutting grass pulse was 120 and would not go down , happened afew more times had tests sinus tachycardia, 1st Metop dose,with Xanax as needed. Kept happening heart rate jump, occasionally 2nd Metroprolol pill.. My B.P. seems normal Systolic is in the 90-100 range. My watch has a pulse monotor , question can resting heart rate while dreaming increase over a 100,its mid 70's when retiring. Seeing primary Sept. 1. Heart rate what is normal ? with or without meds.
Thankyou. I'm not nuts.
Saw Primary FT4 was .86 tsh 4.93 Changed to Bystolic 5mg and lexapro 10mg..Still won't change Synthroid.Feeling older by the minute. Heart rate down considerably ,stopped Xanx except for emergancy situations. Still shaking and shivering and achy allover....

When did you last see you Dr? You shouldn't have to put up with that. I assume that as your doses have changed so much that you can't find the correct dose to help you sufficiently. Has your Gp considered a different treatment at all?

Hi an inadequate dosage regime of this med shouldn't really create side effects but won't work effectively to rectify your problem. Are there any symptoms you are experiencing that you are worried about??
